SmartAudioTTSAdapter

Set the text, and the adapter turns it into spoken audio through a text-to-speech endpoint. It is the voice half of the audio pair — useful for accessibility, notifications and hands-free flows.

Because it works through the standard Audio control, playback behaves like any other audio in the application.

Voices and audio formats follow the endpoint configuration, so switching from a cloud voice to a self-hosted one is an endpoint change, not a UI change.

What it gives you

• Text-to-speech for the Audio control.
• Natural, lifelike voice output.
• Pairs with TTS endpoints such as OpenAI or LocalAI.

Use it for

• Reading notifications and reports aloud
• Accessibility for low-vision users
• Hands-free confirmation in warehouse and field apps

Like every adapter, it runs through a SmartHub and inherits its SmartEndpoint — switching the model or provider never changes this code.

var hub = new SmartHub(this) {
    Endpoint = new OpenAIEndpointTTS()
};

var tts = new SmartAudioTTSAdapter { Audio = audio1 };
audio1.Text = "Your report is ready to download.";
await tts.SpeakAsync();
