Case Studies

RCA markets an Internet radio. Rather than install and maintain a small embedded voice, they recognized the power and cost savings of “streaming” dozens of high-quality voices from the VoiceForge speech server.

Anshe Chung is the leading developer in the virtual world IMVU. Despite the rich graphical environment, users type to chat and bubbles appear above their heads. VoiceForge enabled live audio and dozens of surrogate voices for avatars. The online delivery model means there’s no software for users to download.

Phone.com markets a viral call service called Phone Dot™. They required novel character voices to capture the attention of a savvy Web 2.0 audience. The VoiceForge online service converts custom Phone Dot text into voice in real-time and then Phone.com’s advanced telephony servers call recipients and play the personalized message.
