voice synthesizers
Artificial talking devices
Voice synthesizers are devices or software that generate human-like speech from text or other input.
They convert written words into spoken audio, used in applications from GPS navigation to accessibility tools for people who cannot speak.
Stephen Hawking's computerized voice was among the most famous examples.
