Overview
We can use Resource TTS (Text-to-speech) for internal EMS tests via the Device Record Test page similar to Resource Text. Otherwise, the Resource TTS mechanism is used in the background to generate audio files from the Resource Texts or programatically assigned texts, that are then used in Facility Monitor, Floor Plan Monitor, PBX systems etc.
