New RealSpeak Voices?

[D.Leikin]

Ken,

Any plans to license some of the newly released half dozen RealSpeak voices (Moira, Samantha, Yannick, Alexandros, Paolo, Narisa)?

Thanks

We are going to look at them early next year, but probably not before.

Hi,
In the past couple of months I've been posting new posts asking about the Nuance RealSpeak Thai voice, Narisa, in particular, but I just noticed that this question about the RealSpeak Voices was asked about six years ago, apparently inconclusively. I suppose that either the voices were looked into and rejected, or maybe (I hope) they weren't looked into due to some temporary factor, then forgotten......

BURLINGTON, Mass., August 3, 2006 -Nuance Communications, Inc. (NASDAQ: NUAN), the world's leading supplier of speech and imaging solutions, today introduced a Thai text-to-speech (TTS) engine that dynamically converts any input text into spoken output. The new female TTS voice, named Narisa, can be used to deliver premium voice quality and natural-sounding synthesized speech for call center and network-based speech applications, as well as automotive, desktop and mobile applications.

Developed in conjunction with Chulalongkom University in Thailand, Narisa is the latest addition to the Nuance RealSpeak® TTS portfolio, a collection of nearly 40 voices representing more than 25 different languages and dialects. Whether users want to enhance call center service, develop automated voice dialing applications, speech-enable an in-car navigation system or automate directory assistance services, RealSpeak delivers a friendly, expressive, highly intelligible speech interface.
