Voice Synthesis
The artificial production of human speech from text using neural networks, producing natural-sounding audio in multiple languages and voices.
Understanding Voice Synthesis
Voice synthesis (also called speech synthesis or text-to-speech) creates artificial human speech from text input. Modern neural voice synthesis uses deep learning models that produce remarkably natural, human-like speech with proper intonation, rhythm, and emotion. The technology has advanced to the point where synthesized speech can be nearly indistinguishable from human speech. In translation contexts, voice synthesis is the final step that converts translated text into audible speech in the target language.
How Selah Translate Uses Voice Synthesis
Selah Translate integrates OpenAI's state-of-the-art voice synthesis engine, offering multiple natural-sounding voices across supported languages. Users can select their preferred voice in the Translation Studio. The system uses the Opus codec for fast delivery and supports toggling TTS on or off based on user preference.
