Loquendo, the global speech technology company, is pleased to present Zosia, the new female Polish voice, heralding the launch of a brand new language for Loquendo TTS.

This new member of the Loquendo family brings to 18 the total number of languages in the Loquendo range, and the total number of voices to 40. This is the first time Loquendo has developed a voice in a Slavonic language. The male Polish voice will follow soon.

With the voice of Zosia, Loquendo makes inroads into the growing Central European markets, enabling the company to support its partners even more effectively in an ever growing and diversifying European community.

Zosia is the latest Loquendo voice to be enriched with 'expressive cues', by which many everyday phrases and exclamations can be said in a more lively and expressive way by simply inserting the appropriate punctuation. Zosia can even 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 speech technology provider to offer such an 'emotional' component, giving Loquendo's voices truly lifelike expression and a far wider emotional range, and representing a major leap forward in speech technology.
