l Vendor Directory


Text-to-speech (TTS) Software
Text-to-speech technology is widely used in a variety of applications. Within the domain of call centres, the primary application is within IVR systems.


Consulting Projects Involving Text-to-speech
Occidental Communications has undertaken a few assignments advising clients on the potential for speech recognition and text-to-speech technologies. One project has involved analysing a client's call types and preparing a specification of an IVR system including speech recognition including the entire menu which went to tender. For more details, see the Speech Technology Consulting page.


International Directory
This directory is of developers of text to speech software. In contrast to other Internet sites that purport to be directories of text to speech recognition software, this directory does not include any integrators, consultants, conference organisers, magazines, distributors or providers of products related to text to speech software. Every one of the companies listed has developed the text to speech software listed therein - they are not integrators or incorporators of text to speech software developed by others.
