Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology may be considered royalty-free when it is free to use for any purpose, without needing a fee or royalty for each use. However, whether or not a specific TTS software or service is royalty-free will depend on its licensing terms and conditions.
Some TTS software or services offer free, royalty-free usage, particularly for personal or non-commercial use. However, it is essential to carefully review the terms and conditions of any free TTS software or service, as there may be limitations on the number of uses or the scope of use, or other requirements that must be met to qualify for free or royalty-free usage.
Sometimes, TTS technology may be considered royalty-free if licensed under an open-source license, such as the GNU General Public License (GPL) or the Apache License. These licenses allow for free and open use, modification, and distribution of the TTS software or service, often with few restrictions.
In summary, TTS technology may be considered royalty-free in certain circumstances, such as when offered for free or under an open-source license. However, it is important to carefully review the licensing terms and conditions of any TTS software or service to determine whether a fee or royalty is required.
