1.1. What problem does Text to Speech solve?

The same texts are often used for announcements. A microphone is often not necessary for this. A recording of the text which is then played back by a streaming client solves the problem. This allows you to trigger several different texts through trivum actions.

TextToSpeech replaces speech recording with a microphone. By simply entering a text, the trivum Multiroom System automatically converts the text into an audio file. This audio file can then be used in any paging.

1.2. How does trivum implement Text to Speech?

The conversion of text into an audio file is offered within the configuration of a paging. When selecting the source for a paging, select 'Streaming'. There is a list of audio files, but also the possibility to create a new audio file through Text2Speech. The generated audio file can then be used in further pagings.
