New on Marketplace: 2 more languages for Neural TTS and performance style filters

 

Respeecher Marketplace constantly improves based on your feedback. Here’s what we added in the past month:

  • Improved TTS for French and German

As we introduced Neural TTS for 2 more languages, your text-to-speech conversions in French and German will now sound more natural and human-like. What’s more, you can now choose from a variety of performance styles to get an even better result.

  • Filtering by Performance Styles

Navigating 160+ performance styles isn’t easy, so we added a filter on Voices page that lets you choose the style you are looking for. Now you can select the voice with the necessary tone or emotion even faster

Respeecher revives historic voices for “Endurance” documentary

Respeecher helped bring back to life the voice of Ernest Shackleton and six people from his crew for the upcoming National Geographic Documentary Film "Endurance," a story of incredible human resilience against all odds.

Respeecher AI Voice Lab’s specialists used the archive wax cylinders recordings of Ernest Shackleton and his crew. We also involved some very talented voice actors who read the lines and mimicked the voice and speech style to recreate the voices - all so that you could hear the historical figures the same way they sounded 100 years ago.

"Endurance", from National Geographic Documentary Films, held its world premiere screening in the UK on October 12, 2024, as a part of the BFI London Film Festival.
