Introduction

Focus

Acapela Group, the leading expert in voice solutions, has taken a significant step forward in the bespoke solutions it offers to visually impaired people. The functions and ease of accessibility provided by Infovox Desktop and Infovox InKey have been combined and improved to create a single powerful solution called infovox3.

infovox3 is an innovative yet simple and all-in-one product for seamless access to written information, no matter where the user is;, at home, in the office or on the move using different computers. infovox3, using Acapela speech synthesis, speech empowers any PC with pleasant voices, transforming any written text into speech in real time.

infovox3 expands the benefits of the well known Infovox products, which have been appreciated and enthusiastically adopted by the market and the user community for 20 years, into a product including both a portable USB solution and 3 local installations, which follow users as they work on different PCs.

• Local installations will function even without a USB plugged into the computer
• Local installations can be run directly from the USB, no more need for DVDs
• Possibility to transfer local installations between computers

Instantaneous access to any PC directly from the USB with no need for installation or admin rights.

The end user can choose up to 5 voices from a wide repertoire - with different genders and voice personas - and in a rich portfolio of languages, so that users feel fully comfortable with the voices that become their daily companion. The choice between languages provides access to information in foreign languages as well as language learning.

infovox3 offers a portfolio of 24 languages and 50 voices, including new voices, such as Tracy (US), Antoine (French), Rasmus (Danish), Leila (Arabic), Laia (Catalan), Samuel (Finland Swedish) and Antonio (Spanish).

The new Pronunciation Editor tool allows easy management of lexicons, to fine tune and customize the way names and exceptions are pronounced. The Speech Creator tool enables easy creation of MP3 files for personal use, from any text file. 2 screen readers - infovox Reader and NVDA - help the user when no screen reader is pre-installed.

infovox3 fully supports both 32 and 64 bit OS and screen readers.
