Multilingual announcements in human quality voices can now be generated directly from a low cost module or in a full featured mountable audio amplifier, thanks to the latest high definition speech synthesis hardware from US company 7954 TextSpeak.

Dynamic and real-time passenger information, announcements and security warnings in 20 languages can be spoken from message queues, CAD/AVL systems, streaming data or directly from typed text to bus or rail stations, vehicles, kiosks, parking lots and unattended platforms.

The tiny TTS-EM module and the TTS-EN-M amplifier systems offer high quality voice synthesis paging and announcement in a stand-alone package that only requires a digital input signal and a speaker connection to produce spoken audio with integrated text-to-speech. The conversion of informational data to a clear, natural sounding voice is completely automatic.

Digital Signage can support ADA and disability audio announcements with the push of a button.
