Loquendo
Loquendo Presents the Brand New Castilian Spanish Voice
Loquendo Enhances its Family of Voices from Throughout the Spanish-Speaking World
Turin, October 30th, 2006

Loquendo, leading innovator in speech technology, is proud to present Leonor, the brand new Castilian Spanish female voice.

Leonor complements Loquendo's existing Castilian-speaking voices, Jorge, Carmen and Juan, enabling the company to support its partners ever more effectively in the vitally important and rapidly expanding Spanish market.

Loquendo is the very first speech technology company to offer an emotional component, achieving truly lifelike speech with a far wider emotional range, representing a major leap forward in speech technology.

Leonor is able to express many commonly used phrases and exclamations in a lively and expressive way; the user has simply to add the appropriate punctuation to achieve really natural sounding speech. Leonor can also be made to laugh, sigh, yawn and cry, to name just a few examples, by the insertion of the relevant tag.

Like all of Loquendo's voices, Leonor is available for Telephony and Multimedia applications, allowing integrators to select the footprint that best suits their requirements, and guaranteeing the same wide range of high-quality voices and languages all with the same core engine.

Leonor will be presented at the Expo Call Center Show in Madrid, 7-8th of November, STAND B6.
