The global text-to-speech market size is expected to reach USD 7.06 Billion in 2028 at a CAGR of 14.7% during the forecast period. Market growth is majorly driven by rising focus on development of cutting-edge technologies in the education sector and rapid digitization across most major sectors. Text-to-speech technology has been witnessing increasing adoption and deployment owing to ability to function or operate on a wide range of personal digital devices such as tablets, computers, and smartphones. Text-to-speech system converts normal text into speech and highlights words as they are read out loud. This can help children and learners to focus on words onscreen and simultaneously listen, comprehend, and understand how words are pronounced, which results in better learning.
Text-to-speech is extremely beneficial for individuals with learning and vision disabilities as it converts content on websites, online documents, and e-learning applications into audible speech. It also helps elderly persons with poor eyesight, impaired vision, or reading issues to be able to access and use written content for various learning or other purposes. This technology plays a pivotal role in facilitating communication with readers when reading content available onscreen is challenging or inconvenient. The technology has paved the way to easily access information and use by disabled persons. Improvements in technology have led to the advent of innovative and novel attributes in text-to-speech system. Major companies have enhanced the optical character recognition (OCR) feature that allows text-to-speech technology to read contents from images.
Rising adoption of machine learning by market players to improve text-to-speech tools is expected to drive market growth over the forecast period. Rapid advancements in deep learning enabling production of natural-sounding speech, including changes in rate of speech, pitch, and pronunciation are factors expected to drive deployment and adoption going ahead. Currently, computer-generated speech is widely used in a large number of applications such as for e-learning, in public announcement systems, IoT devices and apps, personal assistants, gaming, and newsreaders, among others.
