Text-to-Speech TTS capabilities for a computer refers to the ability to play back text in a spoken voice. TTS is the ability of the operating system to play back printed text as spoken words. An internal driver, called a TTS engine, recognizes the text and using a synthesized voice chosen from several pre-generated voices, speaks the written text.
A TTS engine is installed with the operating system. Additional engines are also available through third-party manufacturers. These engines often use a certain jargon or vocabulary; for example, a vocabulary specializing in medical or legal terminology. They can also use different voices allowing for regional accents such as British English, or speak a different language altogether such as German, French, or Russian.
See the individual Help topics for specific help. In addition to the general options, each engine can have a different set of specific features.

Most computers use an internal sound card and often the connections are in the back of the computer. These are a series of connections the same size and diameter as the speaker jack. In many cases there are two sound out connections:. One will be labeled as a line-out connection. Most speakers that require a separate power supply such as an electrical AC adapter or batteries should use this connection. It is also used to export amplified sound to recording devices including recordable CDs and tape cassette systems.
The other connection is for the non-powered speakers. Because the signal is boosted by the computer, powered speakers may be damaged if connected. On the Text-to-Speech tab, click Preview Voice to hear the currently selected voice.
The text is spoken and the words are highlighted as they are spoken. If the speakers are working properly, you will hear the spoken words. If you do not hear sound after you connect the speakers, see the "Possible Text-to-Speech Problems" section of this article for troubleshooting procedures.

Additional information for the specific panel is available through the associated Help files. Use this audio output device allows you to select another device for speech programs only.
