Cepstral TTS Voices Released for Mac OS X
Cepstral Swift Text-to-Speech Supports Apple Speech Manager
Cepstral LLC, a leader in high quality
Text-to-Speech (TTS), announced the release of its Swift Text-to-Speech
(TTS) software on Apple's Mac OS X operating system. The advanced
operating system has complete built-in support for speech technology, and
can take advantage of Cepstral's high quality, natural sounding voices.
Apple (AAPL) has built speech services directly into the OS X operating
system and user interface. With Cepstral's new 3.2 release, Cepstral
voices integrate directly under the Apple Speech Manager, and are then
available to all applications and services that use TTS. Integrated speech
technology allows vocalization of all types of menus, system alerts, web
browser, and text content anywhere without requiring a separate program.
"Apple has always been at the forefront of interface design, and we are
pleased to announce that our latest voice technology integrates cleanly
into the core of Apple's operating system," said
Cepstral CEO and co-founder Kevin Lenzo. "Our voices bring a new level of
consumer choice for voices on the Mac, with extremely high vocal quality."
"For us to embrace speech technology, it must meet the expectations of our
imagination. I've tried the Cepstral TTS voices and I'm impressed!" said
RJ Sharp, President of Inquire4D. The company will incorporate the new
Cepstral voices for use in their products.
The portfolio of Cepstral TTS voices and languages, ranging from small and
novelty voices to high quality desktop unit selection, is now Mac ready and
available for immediate download, trial, and purchase from the Cepstral
website www.cepstral.com)">. "This day marks the presence of an affordable
commercial-grade TTS option for Mac users and provides human sounding
voices to education, entertainment, and assistive technologies based on the
Mac platform," said Lenzo.
