Yes, I am aware of your points. What I said is that Rocku does not read tts as a screen reader. Rocku has one of it's remotes that does have speech recognition, you tell it what channel to go to or to turn the television on or off. You do not have a screen display where you can maneuver to hear the text, as on your computer.

Speech recognition is talking to a device, like Amazon Echo.
TTS is text to speech, like Jaws and other screenreaders.
Phones use both TTS and speech recognition.

Devices like TVs are usually driven by Android, which can use open

I don't know the names but they are around. Just look at any smart TV
like Samsung. Or The Amazon Fire stick, Roku and Apple TV's. They
must use embedded TTS chips.

Question regarding tts type engines... Are these or do you know of
any that are able to be embedded into products being designed?

Thank you,

gave proposed to have it. I am happy wi9th my synth or I would look
into it further.

Chris, be sure to avoid Dectalk USB, which purports to sound like
Dectalk Express but which, sadly, doesn’t.

Does anyone know of speech that sounds like that available for
use with Jaws? I find a company when I search, but I don't find
much on how it works. I'd probably even pay a bit of money to
get that voice again if it was available.
