engageSPARK’s text-to-speech (TTS) feature allows you to easily launch Voice blasts and Voice IVR surveys to anyone without having to do the voice recording yourselves. You just type or copy-paste (from a file) the message you want to be converted to voice and our system will automatically convert it to an audio message for you to send to your contacts. The TTS feature also allows you to use personalization like having your contact’s first name read out on the audio message. It supports any dynamic data in your contact’s profile on the Contacts page like gender, address, age, cash transfer amount, loan amount, etc. TTS is currently available for voice questions and voice messages in our Voice IVR survey campaign, Drip campaign, and Play audio message action.

This article will show you how to use TTS in your Drip Campaigns and Voice IVR surveys.
