Long gone are the days when text to speech was a simple robotic voice that read out the content displayed on your screen. Today, text to speech has expanded its application to a wide range of character voices that have their own voice style and personality.

What is speaking text?
Speaking text is another way of saying text-to-speech. Many AI voice generators can convert any written text into speech. This speech can also be tweaked to reflect varying pitches, intonations, and emotions that are human-like.
Speaking text has become so advanced that you can use it to even make avatars – personalized characters for your YouTube, Twitch, or other social media channels.
Today, many AI text to speech software are available for creators to choose from. Some of the popular tools are Speechify, Google Text to Speech, and more. While these tools may be expensive for beginner-level creators, they can also find many Google and Speechify alternatives that are free and available for the public to use.
Can text to speech be used for animation stop motion?
An animation technique in which characters are moved in small increments to create film scenes is called stop motion animation – more like flipbook style! Text to speech can be used as a voice-over for stop motion animation.
Many AI animation generators offer animated characters for stop motion animation. With Typecast software, creators can choose from a wide range of animated character sounds such as Betty, Katie, doughnut, and Icarus.
