WA ≠ TTS

November 15, 2014 Mike

“Text-to-Speech”

heeds semi-colons and commas and pronounces words to the best of its ability.

TTS is a visual recognition process, similar to “sight word” learning for students.

WordsAhead is the opposite:  STT (speech-to-text).

Florence Ion published “How to get started with Google Text-to-Speech” in March 11, 2014.  Kurtzweil Educational Systems uses TTS.
