# What is Text-to-Speech?

Turning written text into spoken audio with a synthetic voice. Teams pick a stock or licensed voice, set the pace and emphasis, and use it for scratch reads, explainers and accessible versions of content.

## In real work

Before booking talent, the producer cut the animatic to a text-to-speech scratch track from ElevenLabs so the client could hear the pacing of the 30-second script.
