synthetic voice
Computer-generated talking
A synthetic voice is speech generated by a computer rather than produced by a human.
Text-to-speech systems, virtual assistants, and automated phone systems use synthetic voices.
Early versions sounded robotic and mechanical, but modern AI-generated voices can be nearly indistinguishable from human speech: The audiobook was narrated by a synthetic voice.
Also called a computer-generated voice or AI voice.
