Loquendo, the global speech technology company, is delighted to present Kate, the new, Emotional UK English persona. Loquendo's TTS engine has been enriched with a rich repertoire of "expressive cues", which enable its users to enliven their voice prompts. Kate’s fresh, expressive voice joins Simon to complete Loquendo’s offering of lifelike speech for the English language.
Loquendo is the first speech market player to offer its customers the possibility to make their vocal messages expressive. Just like human conversation, expressive intention is conveyed through conventional formulas and interjections, which are pronounced with a natural and colourful intonation. As a result, synthetic voice messages become truly lifelike and even more enjoyable for customers to interact with.

Loquendo offers a full range of technological components to rapidly and easily create best-of-breed solutions in 16 languages. Currently available languages include U.S. and U.K. English, Castilian, Catalan, Mexican, Chilean and Argentinean Spanish, Italian, German, French, Dutch, Greek, Mandarin Chinese, Brazilian, Portuguese and Swedish in both male and female voices.
