- 12. Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS) is an advanced technology that uses deep learning models to generate human-like speech from written text. Unlike traditional rule- based or concatenative TTS systems, Neural TTS leverages neural networks to produce more natural, expressive, and high-quality synthetic voices. This makes the generated speech sound almost indistinguishable from human speech, offering a significant improvement in user experience for voice-enabled applications. 12 Explanation
