The notify TTS platform lets you use the TTS integration [speak](/integrations/tts/#service-speak) or legacy [say](/integrations/tts/#service-say-legacy) service and a [media_player](/integrations/media_player) to alert you of important events. This integration provides a simple interface to use in your automations and alerts.
In order to use this integration, you must already have a TTS platform installed and configured, and a media_player working with the TTS platform.
To enable this platform in your installation, consider the following example using [google_translate](/integrations/google_translate/) and an example `media_player.living_room`.
In your `configuration.yaml` file type:
```yaml
notify:
- platform: tts
name: in_the_living_room
entity_id: tts.google_en_com
media_player: media_player.living_room
```
{% configuration %}
