Loquendo
Loquendo Presents the New American Spanish Voice

Enhancing its Family of Voices from throughout the Spanish-Speaking World: Castilian, Mexican, Chilean, Argentinean and now American Spanish

January 11th, 2006

Loquendo, the leading innovator in speech technology, is proud to announce Carlos, the brand new American-Spanish voice.

This new voice complements Loquendo's existing Spanish-speaking voices, enabling the company to support its partners ever more effectively in the growing South American markets, as well as in the already thriving North American markets.

Carlos is the latest Loquendo voice to be enriched with 'expressive cues': many commonly used phrases and exclamations can be said in a more lively and expressive way by simply adding the appropriate punctuation.
Carlos can also be made to laugh, sigh, hiccup and cry, to name just a few examples, by the insertion of the relevant
'tag'.

Loquendo is the very first to offer the option of an 'emotional' component, allowing certain phrases to be expressed in a truly lifelike way and with a far wider emotional range, representing a major leap forward in speech technology.
