+The `picotts` text-to-speech platform uses offline pico Text-to-Speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
+This requires to install the pico tts library on the system, typically on debian just do `sudo apt-get install libttspico-utils`
+On some raspbian release, this package is missing but you can just copy the arm deb package from debian.
+
+To enable text-to-speech with Pico, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+tts:
+  - platform: picotts
+```
+
+Configuration variables:
+
+- **language** (*Optional*): The language to use. Defaults to `en-US`. 
+Supported languages : 'en-US', 'en-GB', 'de-DE', 'es-ES', 'fr-FR', 'it-IT'
+
+A full configuration sample:
+
+```yaml
+# Example configuration.yaml entry
+tts:
+  - platform: picotts
+    language: 'fr-FR'
