Customised speech solutions with the Acapela Voice Factory

Acapela Group, the number one supplier of speech technologies across Europe is proud to announce the Acapela Voice Factory. This innovative and highly advanced solution allows companies to adopt a customised voice for use in any speech synthesis application at a competitive price.

A growing number of providers in the telecoms, multimedia and mobility sectors are increasingly integrating speech solutions as a standard component into their product. The latest trends now focus on voice customisation. Companies can differentiate themselves from their competitors by incorporating a vocal dimension to their marketing strategy with an identifiable corporate sound.

The Acapela Voice Factory is the result of in-depth research into recording, segmentation and fine tuning methods used in the text-to-speech production process. Using expertise and industry insight, the Acapela Voice Factory has been designed to develop natural, exclusive voices at an unbeatable price – 2 to 10 times less expensive than other solutions currently available on the market.

This solution, which can create up to one hundred new voices every year, accurately reproduces a given voice as well as of those of celebrities in a short space of time. Voices are initially recorded in the studio with the selected speaker and are then analysed, sliced and orchestrated to develop a synthetic voice that remains true to the original recording. This final version is then ready for application, transforming text into speech.

Text-to-speech solutions are more than just technology – they enrich the capacity of applications, enabling companies from all sectors to reinforce their corporate branding. The secret to this solution lies in the manufacturing process. By creating a distinctive vocal identity for a company, end-users can recognise the brand with ease.
