artificial voice

Computer-generated talking

An artificial voice is a voice produced by mechanical or electronic means rather than human vocal cords.

Text-to-speech systems generate artificial voices for accessibility tools, GPS navigation, and virtual assistants: The artificial voice announced the next station.

The term can also describe a speaking or writing style that sounds forced or unnatural: His prose has an artificial voice that distances readers.
