What is Text-to-Speech?
DictionaryToday.com provides our users with an artificially-simulated
(natural-tone) text-to-speech (TTS) capability.
Our goal is to provide people with a useful supplement to reinforce - not
replace - human instruction and materials.
As an always available (24/7) resource, DictionaryToday.com acts
as a voice guide for both English-speaking and international users. In the
future, we will be expanding the utilization of this feature in many rewarding
ways beyond this site.
