A Text-to-Speech (TTS) engine on Android is a software tool that converts text into audible speech, enabling devices to “read out” content such as books, messages, notifications, or anything displayed on a screen. TTS engines are used in many applications such as navigation, accessibility features for visually impaired users, and e-learning apps. The quality of speech generated by TTS engines varies from robotic to highly natural-sounding voices, depending on the engine used. Android supports multiple TTS engines, both open-source and proprietary, that provide various voices, languages, and customization options.
