Truefans has a colisten feature? And you are adding a chat to it? Well I didn't know that. This week I added what I call parties to the new secret bouncepad we app. Which has a party chat already. Great minds?

TTS (Text-To-Speech) is not a new term. I worked on IVR (Interactive Voice Response Systems) phone applications in the 90s-2010 and we were using TTS for dynamic data to convert to voice. It appears Podcast with playback of transcript or AI are now coming to the TTS party. What is old is new again.
