What is text to speech?

Text to speech (TTS) reads digital text aloud — scripts, articles, courses, and product copy — so people can listen instead of reading on a screen.

It is used for accessibility, navigation, virtual assistants, and production voiceovers. Listnr focuses on the last of those: natural narration you can export for video, podcasts, audiobooks, and training.

Modern TTS uses neural models to close the gap with human speech. The goal is audio that already sounds ready to publish, not a robotic placeholder you have to replace later.
