Product Description: 

Loquendo TTS (Text to Speech) is a speech synthesis program designed for use in communication aids and to provide verbal access for individuals who are blind or have low vision or learning disabilities. The technology can be used to enable speech in any application. It is available in more than 25 natural-sounding voices and more than 60 languages, and the characteristics of each voice (i.e. pitch, speaking rate, and volume) can be adjusted and controlled.

Main Features: 

  • A repertoire of “expressive cues” – commonly used phrases, such as “How are you?” or “You’ve got to be kidding!” and paralinguistic events such as yawning, coughing and laughing - enable highly expressive pronunciation, creating natural-sounding speech.
  • Plug-in lexicons – make possible the reading of specific types of text (e.g. SMS abbreviations, emails).
  • Lexicons Manager – is the tool to create and edit lexicons.
  • Mixed Language Capabilities – allows the reading of multilingual texts: it has a built-in language guesser that automatically identifies the language of any text so that, through phonetic mapping, any of Loquendo’s voices can pronounce any foreign word.
  • Audio Mixer – gives users complete control over all audio sources (for music or other sounds there is a choice of sampling rates and coding): audio files can be mixed, looped, faded in and out, or synchronized with synthetic speech.
  • Voice Creator – gives users the possibility to modify an existing voice and save it as a new one.
  • User-Driven Unit Selection Tool – enables the user to perform an alternative acoustic unit selection from the speech database - providing the maximum flexibility for the smoothest pronunciation and intonation possible.
  • Reading Style – allows prompt designers to activate/deactivate predefined reading styles.

Primary Specifications: 

  • Supported operating systems:
    • MS Windows (7, XP, Vista, Server 2003, Server 2008).
    • Red Hat Enterprise Linux 3, 4, 5.
