Loquendo, the global speech technology company, presents the latest development for Loquendo TTS technology: the new audio mixer feature.
Using simple command tags embedded in the text, users can now reproduce audio files and music synchronized with the words pronounced by synthetic voices in U.K and U.S English, Spanish, German, Italian, French, Brazilian, Portuguese, Swedish, Mandarin Chinese, Catalan, Mexican, Chilean, Argentinean and Greek.
Commands such Mix, Play, Stop, Pause, Resume, Loop and Fade allow users to have complete control on the audio sources. No technical knowledge is required.
Thanks to explicit tags among the words, easy synchronization between audio files and speech is guaranteed even if the text is modified.
Every sound effect is treated as an independent track, with independent timeline, volume and sample rate. No more offline audio resampling is required: the sample rate frequency of the audio sources is automatically converted according to the voice frequency used.
As part of a synthetic speech system, the Loquendo Mixer Audio module allows the realization of extremely high quality, multilingual speech applications.
