Text-to-speech (TTS) functionality is the capability of an application to convert written text into audible speech. The availability of this feature within a specific application, referred to herein as “Prism app,” would allow users to listen to text content rather than read it. An example of its use would be having an article or document read aloud within the Prism app environment.
The integration of TTS offers potential benefits for accessibility, allowing individuals with visual impairments or reading difficulties to engage with content more easily. It can also enhance productivity by enabling users to listen to information while multitasking. Historically, TTS technology has evolved significantly, becoming more natural-sounding and readily available across various platforms, thereby increasing its potential value within applications like the Prism app.
