Over the last few years, there have been tremendous improvements in voice response systems. Synthetic voices can now be used effectively to provide information to callers. To hear the quality of current synthesized voices, just call one of our phone numbers.
The most familiar current uses of these systems are apparent when you call a bank or credit card company. But those are not the only possible uses. It is possible to design systems that will give delivery date information, confirm appointments and reservations, give bus and train schedule info. The possibilities are limited only by your imagination.
Text to speech engines and voice fonts are now available in several languages (including Swedish, Brazilian, Valencian, Galician, Turkish, Canadian French, Polish, Castilian Spanish, Catalan, American Spanish, Mexican Spanish, Chilean Spanish, Argentine Spanish, Portuguese, Italian, French, German, Greek, Mandarin Chinese, as well as American and British English). These TTS engines allow you to build interactive voice systems simply by creating spoken words from static text or variable database entries. These techniques are being used to build reservations systems, account inquiry systems, bus and train scheduling information systems.
