About:
Qt Speech provides a cross-platform API for accessing text-to-speech engines on various operating systems. It allows developers to integrate spoken audio output into their applications with minimal code. This library is essential for creating accessible applications or voice-enabled user interfaces within the Qt framework.

Key Features:

Cross-platform TTS backend abstraction
Simple API for queueing speech utterances
Support for voice selection and rate/pitch control
Integration with the Qt build system (qmake/CMake)

Use Cases:

Adding audio feedback for accessibility compliance
Building voice-controlled or hands-free interfaces
Creating automated notification systems in desktop apps

Alternatives:

espeak – Open-source speech synthesizer; lower level and platform-independent but lacks native OS integration.
flite – Lightweight TTS engine; suitable for embedded systems but offers fewer voices and features.
