During the TTS process, the system breaks text into phonemes and considers punctuation and grammar to determine the correct rhythm and intonation for the speech.

Common applications of TTS include acting as assistive technology for individuals with visual impairments, providing directions in navigation systems, and narrating content for audiobooks.
