Loquendo’s TTS Integrated into Ontira’s IVR
Turin, Italy - October 3, 2006 - Loquendo, provider of speech technology solutions worldwide, and Ontira, leading provider of Automated Traveler Information Systems (ATIS) technology, today announced the integration of Loquendo’s award-winning text to speech into Ontira’s Interactive Voice Response solutions.
Loquendo's TTS has been chosen for the exceptional emotional range of its voices and the high quality of its speech synthesis, and with Ontira’s ATIS will enable travelers to access travel information and plan their journeys 24/7.
By integrating Loquendo technology, Ontira will significantly reduce the costs associated with creating draft IVR systems by exploiting all the advantages of TTS, only requiring costly and time consuming recording once the IVR design is finalized at the closing stage. In addition, TTS will be invaluable for "on the fly" emergency bulletins, saving the time and money of having to make manual recordings.
“Ontira’s ATIS solutions are enhancing the travel experience right across North America,” says Rosanna Duce, Loquendo vice president. “Ontira is also known for working very closely with its clients to find solutions that really work, and Loquendo is very pleased to have forged a partnership with them.”
“Loquendo TTS has an excellent reputation worldwide that is well-deserved,” says Gerald Bachmayer, Director of Ontira Communications. “The superiority of their vocal technology convinced us that they were the right choice for our IVR solutions.”
