Voicent
Text-to-Speech(TTS) Plug-In integrates your
existing TTS with Voicent telephony software. It is a great feature for
playing dynamically generated text messages over the
phone, such as names, balance dues, and
any text message you can't personally record
in voice or don't want to use your own voice
but would like to say it in your phone
message.
The
message designer feature in all Voicent
telephony product uses your TTS software with
your pre-recorded audio files to personalize
phone messages.
TTS
Plug-In supports SAPI based TTS in any
language. To find out if your TTS work with
Voicent software, all you need to do is to
download Voicent software and try it with your
TTS.
Please note that TTS Plug-In does not
include TTS engine or voice. With TTS
Plug-In, you get the capability to generate
and play TTS voices for live telephone calls.
It also turns an ordinary TTS engine into a
server for simultaneous phone calls.
Microsoft Windows Operating systems contain
free TTS voices, for example, on Windows Vista, the
default TTS voice is called "Microsoft Anna".
With TTS Plug-In, you should be able to
utilize the TTS voice for your telephone
calls. On Windows XP, the older voices "Sam"
and "Mary" do not sound that well, but you may
be able to get the "Anna" voice to Windows XP
by getting Microsoft's 'Streets & Trips'
software.
If you
want to use other TTS voices, you can simply
google the term "tts voice" and you should
find vendors like AT&T, NeoSpeech, and Nuance.
With Voicent TTS Plug-In, you do not need to
buy a server version, since server features are implemented in the Plug-In. All
you need is a single port desktop TTS engine. If the vendor provides a free
trial version, you should download and give it a try first before purchasing. To
select the voice for Voicent, open Voicent Gateway, select Setup > Options >
Text-to-Speech, then choose the voice you prefer to use.
Please also note TTS Plug-In is only
available in release 7.
