    Text to Speech Sony

    You’ve probably heard of Sony electronics – after all, they are a leading brand in game consoles, smart TVs, and smartphones. You may even have a Sony Bravia in your living room or an Android phone in your pocket. As smart technologies like iPhones and Android TVs have become part of our everyday lives, accessibility functions like text to speech have grown in importance.

    Text to speech, called TTS for short, reads aloud any text that appears on screen, making it possible for everyone to consume content easily. These audio descriptions allow people to hear information rather than depend on visuals. Since people use their phones for everything from making calls to connecting to wi-fi and browsing the internet, most smartphones have the text to speech function included in their operating systems. 

    Sony is no exception. Most Sony TVs and phones have a TTS function built in, whether it’s a screen reader managed with a remote control and heard through a TV sound system or a program fully contained within a phone and listened to via Bluetooth devices and headphones. Let’s talk about how you can get the best experience with TTS on your Sony smartphone.

    How to improve the quality of your text to speech recordings on Sony

    Sony smartphones run on the Android operating system, which has a built-in TTS app called TalkBack. While it does fulfill essential accessibility and convenience functions, sometimes this app doesn’t work ideally. Fortunately, there are a few ways you can adjust the system sound mode to improve the quality. To change the settings:

    • Start on the home screen.

    • Open the list of all apps.

    • Find and select “Settings.”

    • Find “System.”

    • Go to “Languages and Input.”

    • Open advanced options and click on “Text to Speech Output.”

    From here, you can choose a language and customize the speech rate and pitch. Once you’ve made adjustments, click on the play button to test your new settings.
