Why Loquendo?
Loquendo TTS is the only speech product on the market with an emotional component, known as Gilded TTS, delivering truly lifelike synthetic speech to make any speech application natural-sounding and expressive.
And because Loquendo TTS delivers the highest levels of flexibility, scalability, performance and robustness with a multi-threaded, multi-process configuration, the speech engine supports massive deployments like that found in SchoolMessenger ASP Plus. The speech engine synthesizes different languages and voices simultaneously, switching between them at any time and on any channel. Plus, the Pronunciation Lexicon ensures that specialized vocabulary, abbreviations, acronyms and even regional pronunciation differences sound just as they are intended to sound. Special formats such as phone numbers, currencies and e-mail addresses are also read correctly.
Loquendo TTS is included standard with SchoolMessenger ASP Plus, SchoolMessenger CommSuite and SchoolMessenger for Cisco Unified Communications version 4.1 and higher.
