Goal
Major player in consumer credit in Europe with over 15 million customers and nearly 10,000 employees, Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance decided to go for its own custom digital voice, instantly recognizable, to better serve its customers throughout all contact points.
A custom digital voice to be deployed on all interaction channels to deliver information homogeneously while easing the process and optimizing the operational costs.
The team began by establishing the profile and voice persona of the targeted custom voice for the Crédit Agricole Consumer Finance.
Step by step, and particularly based on a panel of customers and potential customers, the voice asserted to be a male voice, mature, grave, calm and warm.
Implementation
Selected on a casting set up by Acapela, the speaker made the recordings under the supervision of Acapela’s linguists. The corpus included a trade corpus and specific messages.
The audio database was then used by Acapela’s specialists as raw material to create the custom digital voice, using Acapela Voice Factory solution which relies on 30 years of expertise in speech technology.
Once released, the custom voice can be used in a wide range of solutions developed by Acapela to generate audio files, work on the cloud or be integrated within services and applications to vocalize content in real time.
Spreading the same voice on multiple supports and applications, such as Vocal servers, voicebots, elearning programs and all upcoming voice needs.
