# Text to Speech
## Can I convert my text to audio?
You can add a TTS (Text To Speech) element to create audio from a given text.
### Step 1: Add a Text to Speech element
You can add 'Text-to-speech' element into your element from the top bar of your deployment.

### Step 2: Adjust the Text to Speech element
You can enter the text you want in the Properties Panel, and click on "**Generate Speech Audio**" to convert it to speech. You can **preview** the audio after generating it, by clicking on the Preview link.

The '**Convert to Audio'** feature allows you to save the converted text as an audio file. This can be useful if you want to swap the generated audio file with any other MP3 on your computer or the file manager - without having to rewire any rules you may have added.

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the following URL with the `ask` and `goal` query parameters:
```
GET https://docs.gmetri.com/metaverse/build/elements/texttospeech.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is what the user is ultimately trying to achieve, the reason they need the answer. Sharing it helps GitBook give you a better, more relevant answer. A goal is most helpful when it describes the outcome the user wants rather than restating the question. For example, with `ask=how do I create an API token`, a goal like `automate deployments from our CI pipeline` lets GitBook tailor the answer to that use case.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
Use this mechanism when the answer is not explicitly present in the current page, you need clarification or additional context, or you want to retrieve related documentation sections.
