The **VoiceRSS** text-to-speech {% term integration %} uses [VoiceRSS](http://www.voicerss.org/) text-to-speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
## Configuration
To enable text-to-speech with VoiceRSS, add the following lines to your {% term "`configuration.yaml`" %} file.
{% include integrations/restart_ha_after_config_inclusion.md %}
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry

```
{% configuration %}
