Project oriented task on TTS

Imagine you are in a situation that can't speak or you want to create a video that includes a narration or you want learn a new language pronunciation. Globalization and advances in new technologies have made, now we can use a text to speech (TTS), which gives us many answers to questions, I mentioned above.
Internet has been a great source to publicize these programs, many of them free trial. Talkit, Verbio or VOZME are text to speech examples.

We know the famous Professor Stephen Hawkins where his life goes through a TTS that he lets you communicate with people. He is one of the smartest men in the world and now we can all use this kind of tools because internet offers us.


TTS are developed by linguists and engineers to make perfect tools although many of them have errors in abbreviations, acronyms or natural voice.

We can see many videos on the famous site www.youtube.com using this type of program.
