In Simple Terms

Think of it as an audiobook narrator that can read any text you give it.

Detailed Explanation

TTS models generate natural-sounding speech from text, often with selectable voices and languages. They are used in navigation, assistants, accessibility, and content narration. When to use it: when the output must be heard rather than read, or for consistent voice branding. Common mistakes: ignoring latency for real-time use, or not testing with long-form and edge-case text.
