]]> Comment on Software or SaaS for speech enabling? by admin http://blog.readspeaker.com/2008/03/19/software-or-saas-for-speech-enabling/#comment-24 admin Mon, 31 Mar 2008 07:22:25 +0000 http://blog.readspeaker.com/2008/03/19/software-or-saas-for-speech-enabling/#comment-24 Yes Kelly, it looks like more and more companies are migrating to Saas solutions thanks to the fact that the infrastructure (Internet access) is finally in place and are business critic for most companies these days anyway. When it comes to business model, companies (suppliers of SaaS solutions) tend to like it due to the recurring revenues. The only trick is to package the products well enough. The size of investment required really depends on what the software is doing. And if you already have a software to begin with or not.

As part of the decision process, there is often a significant focus on how long it will take, and how much capital is required to build and market a successful, profitable SaaS solution (particularly in comparison to traditional, licensed software solutions).

Now you can! by admin http://blog.readspeaker.com/2008/03/07/want-to-become-a-tts-voice-now-you-can/#comment-6 admin Fri, 07 Mar 2008 14:22:02 +0000 http://blog.readspeaker.com/2008/03/07/want-to-become-a-tts-voice-now-you-can/#comment-6 Sure. The cheapest one (4500) takes about 6 weeks and it is only automatically segmented. So it would be ok for a very limited domain (like in a automatci switchboard or in announciation systems). The middle level also have manual segmentation and manual adjustments. It sure result in a higher quality. The top end level (costs 45000) there are more recordnings, more manual work and more manual adjustements. The quality is equal (or better - depends on the speaker) then the other Acapela HQ voices.
