Nuance Vocalizer is the leading speech output solution converting any written text into spoken output. Vocalizer advances the state of the art in automated speech output. Along with the ability to gracefully blend static and dynamic speech output, Vocalizer features enhanced speech quality and accuracy through optimized text processing, more comprehensive pronunciation dictionaries, and, in many languages, complete voice refreshes. It is fully interoperable with Nuance Speech Server and Nuance Recognizer products.
Nuance Vocalizer is the complete spoken output engine that can be integrated with any Unified Communication System or Telephony Environment that supports MRCP. It automates more calls by speaking information that would otherwise have required transferring the call to a customer service representative to read. Applications send text to Vocalizer and it determines whether to use pre-recorded prompts, dynamically generated speech, or a combination of the two. Nuance Vocalizer avoids patchwork prompts by blending high quality text-to-speech with pre-recorded audio for seamless conversations with callers.
Automating More Calls
Research has shown that callers are more likely to complete an automated call when they hear information
such as names and addresses read clearly by a single voice. Callers who hear “patchwork prompts” of multiple
voices with poorer quality text-to-speech are distracted by the mixed voices and are more likely to opt-out
of automation.
With Nuance Vocalizer, quickly speak information to callers that would otherwise require agent handling.
Lower Implementation and Operational Costs
Simplify application development by managing recorded prompts and computer-generated speech through one unified interface. Avoid expensive voice talent with lifelike speech synthesis based on recurrent neural networks.
