(TTS) Text to Speech

Text to Speech (TTS) will soon be a requirement for TV stations to meet the mandate from the FCC. (TTS) files are posted to a folder then converted to Audio Engineering Society (AES) standards. Software is available to make this conversion using a sound card and/or an audio mixer.


(TTS) has been on BTi's radar for two years. We first demoed it at NAB 2013. Since then, we have explored several ways to integrate the speech output to play directly into an embedded stream.

EMU = Election Mobile Update. Election Mobile Update allows a user from a remote location to input race results using a smart phone, tablet or PC connected to the internet. Simply log in, select the race and enter the numbers. BTi's Election Voting software at the TV station captures EMU, notifies the staff, and an update is ready for air in seconds.
