-- Calling All Humans to Take the Speechify Challenge! Is it Real Helen or Is It --
Speechify Helen?
BOSTON--(BUSINESS WIRE)--April 25, 2002--
Visit www.speechifychallenge.com and Hear for Yourself Just How Real
TTS Can Sound
Think you've heard it all about automated voices that sound just
like a real person? We don't think you have...yet. Starting today,
SpeechWorks International, Inc. (Nasdaq: SPWX), the global leader in
speech recognition and text-to-speech (TTS) technologies and services,
invites you to take the Speechify Challenge to hear for yourself TTS
so real it actually sounds like a natural voice. Visit
www.speechifychallenge.com and cast your vote for the "Real Helen" or
"Speechify Helen." Take a listen on the website and you will be
entered into a drawing to receive American Express gift certificates,
one worth $1,000!
During a recent test, even industry analysts had difficulty
distinguishing between Real Helen and Speechify Helen. "The Speechify
Challenge represents an industry first, " said Rachel L. MacAulay,
senior analyst of Voice & Wireless Commerce at The Kelsey Group. "It
sets a precedent for the text-to-speech market by running a comparison
against real speech. This is a bold move on SpeechWorks' part."
The Speechify Challenge is based on the Speechify 2.1 TTS engine
from SpeechWorks, software that takes written text and expresses it as
spoken language.
