Cepstral Breaks the Two MB Voice Barrier

PITTSBURGH - Cepstral LLC announced a new software release capable of producing general unit selection Text-to-Speech (TTS) voices that are less than two megabytes in size.

Cepstral's Swift 3.1 engine is a human-sounding voice based on unit selection technology. 

By scaling voices down to two megabytes, they can potentially fit inside compact consumer electronics. 

Currently, they are available only as male and female US English voices, but will soon be available in a half-dozen languages.  Cepstral's voices are platform independent, running on Windows, WinCE, Linux, and Palm powered devices.  The voices are scalable by design and can be tailored to meet specific size requirements anywhere from 2 MB and higher.
