The licensing requirements for using Text-to-Speech (TTS) audio will depend on the specific TTS software or service you are using and the intended use of the audio. Some TTS software or services require a license or payment for commercial use, while others may be free for personal or non-commercial use.
Suppose you plan to use TTS audio for commercial purposes, such as in an advertisement, e-learning course, or other commercial application. In that case, it is important to carefully review the licensing terms and requirements of the TTS software or service you are using. In some cases, a commercial license or usage rights may be required, and failure to obtain the necessary license or rights could result in legal action.
On the other hand, if you use TTS audio for personal or non-commercial purposes, such as creating an audiobook for personal use or using TTS to read articles or books aloud, there may be no licensing requirements or fees associated with the use of the TTS software or service.
In summary, it is important to carefully review the licensing requirements and terms of service for any TTS software or service you plan to use, particularly if you intend to use TTS audio for commercial purposes. Failure to obtain the necessary licensing or usage rights could result in legal action or other consequences.
