The `voicerss` text-to-speech platform uses [VoiceRSS](http://www.voicerss.org/) Text-to-Speech engine to read a text with natural sounding voices.
## {% linkable_title Configuration %}
To enable text-to-speech with VoiceRSS, add the following lines to your `configuration.yaml`:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
tts:
- platform: voicerss
api_key: YOUR_API_KEY
```
{% configuration %}
api_key:
description: The API Key for VoiceRSS.
required: true
type: string
language:

required: false
type: string

format:

required: false
type: string

{% endconfiguration %}

## {% linkable_title Full configuration example %}
The configuration sample below shows how an entry can look like:
```yaml
# Example configuration.yaml entry
