Granada Learning - Acapela TTS speech enables child-friendly software.

Granada Learning, the UK's leading educational multimedia company, has chosen Acapela 's synthesis to speech enable its software solutions for schools.

The company supplies more than ninety-five per cent of schools in the UK and exports to over thirty countries worldwide.

By integrating Acapela TTS into its Granada Toolkit range, Granada Learning significantly broadens the speech capabilities available for children. Speech is part of the child-friendly interface developed by Granada Learning to give instant feedback and for example, encourages pupils to write stories (with Granada Writer tool).

Text to speech is used as a stimulator in the learning process, reading out loud any text and allowing unique interactivity. Millions of young pupils will become familiar with TTS, the indispensable technology for a complete vocal interface.

Granada's integration of TTS will widely distribute Acapela 's technology, which responds to the user-friendliness required by a public as demanding as children.
