The Generate Speech tool enables you to paste or type text, and generate a realistic voice-over or narration track. The tool uses the libraries available in your Operating System. Use this tool to create synthesized voices for videos, games, and audio productions.
Speech Generation on Mac uses a different underlying speech synthesis engine than Windows. Both engines are provided by the respective operating system and are not cross-platform compatible. As such, the XML tags that Windows supports in its engine are not compatible on Mac, and vice versa for the tag format that Mac supports.
Note:
Voices have license restrictions for commercial or public usage. Check if you have rights to distribute any work containing voices.
