Loquendo, leading provider of multi-awarded speech technologies worldwide, is proud to present Soledad and Zeynep.

Soledad, the new female American Spanish voice, joins Loquendo's extensive range of voices for the Latin American markets - Mexican, Brazilian, Argentinian, Chilean, as well as Carlos, the male American Spanish voice.

Zeynep, the new female Turkish voice, joins Kerem in taking Loquendo and its partners into the thriving Turkish market, as well as into a whole new branch of languages for Loquendo. The European markets have never been so accessible to Loquendo's clients and partners.

These latest additions bring the total number of languages in the Loquendo portfolio to 21, the total number of voices to 53.

Currently available languages include U.S. and U.K. English, American Spanish, Mexican, Chilean and Argentinian Spanish, Castilian, Catalan, Brazilian, Portuguese, Italian, German, Esperanto, French, Dutch, Greek, Mandarin Chinese, Swedish, Turkish, Canadian French and Polish in both male and female voices, with more always under development.

Loquendo TTS is the very first text to speech with a genuine 'emotional' component, an unparalleled leap forward in TTS technology that gives Loquendo's voices truly lifelike expression.

Like all of Loquendo's voices, Soledad and Zeynep are available for Telephony, Multimedia and Embedded applications: this means integrators can select the footprint to best suit their requirements, always guaranteed the same wide range of high-quality voices and languages all with the same core engine.

The latest Loquendo TTS release (7.3.0) comes with the new Dynamic Range Control, which gives improved voice intelligibility in noisy environments. By means of simple controls, developers can easily fine-tune prompts and adjust the audio to specific locations, speakers and audio devices. This valuable and easy to use wizard is built into the Loquendo TTS Director tool.

This latest version has also been enriched with a powerful Java API layer which makes all Loquendo TTS features available to Java programmers.

Furthermore, Loquendo now fully supports the X-SAMPA phonetic alphabet, as well as the SAMPA variants from TeleAtlas® and Navteq™. Loquendo TTS also supports a huge number of different text encodings, accepting input text in utf-16, utf-8, iso-8859-x, oem, windows-12xx, etc.
