This practical book provides a step-by-step approach to testing mission-critical applications for scalability and performance before they're deployed -- a vital topic to which other books devote one chapter, if that.

  Loquendo is the only speech technology vendor that provides a complete product line guaranteeing the same wide range of high-quality voices and languages, and the same core engine for all these environments.
  The Loquendo TTS has a highly performant algorithm and guarantees an extremely rapid response. The speech engine can synthesize different languages and voices simultaneously, switching between them at any time and on any channel. It is designed for use in any kind of voice application, including highly intensive TTS.
  The Pronunciation Lexicon ensures that specialized vocabulary, abbreviations, acronyms and even regional pronunciation differences sound just as the developer intends them to. The characteristics of each voice (i.e. pitch, speaking rate and volume) can be fine tuned and fully controlled. Special formats such as phone numbers, currencies and e-mail addresses can also be read correctly.
  TTSDirector is a complete development environment for creating your own voice prompts, tuning them and saving customizations for future re-use. It gives developers complete control over their voice applications, so they can really enhance the user experience. Text is written in the edit box and interactively refined through a listen & edit procedure, which allows fine tuning for even better TTS performance.
  
  
  
• Loquendo TTS 6.6 - Carlos Distribution 6.6.0 (42,2 MB - it requires SDK 6.5.1 or greater)
  
  Loquendo TTS software brings you truly natural sounding voices able to read any kind of dynamic data and prompts in your server-based, multimedia, embedded and multimodal voice applications.
  Loquendo's voices have been enriched with a repertoire of "expressive cues", which enable TTS users to enliven their voice prompts. This new development signals an important landmark in the pursuit of expressive synthetic speech.
  Developing both stylistically and emotionally expressive synthetic speech has been one of Loquendo's objectives for several years; research has covered both language modelling and techniques to make the TTS software more manageable, without compromising on the natural qualities achieved through Unit Selection. In the near future, research will make it possible to synthesize any kind of text in a specific style (e.g. emphatic, formal, informal, etc.) and in the emotional tone required (e.g. happy, sad, angry, etc.).
  

Kate and Paul are US English voices, available in 16khz or 8khz versions, supporting SAPI5 Speech applications including all NextUp.com Products, most newer TTS programs from other companies, as well as TTS functions built into Windows XP.

Each voice requires between 300 and 650mb of disk space. They support speed and pitch adjustments, and require a minimum of Pentium II, 400mhz with 128mb RAM.
