Acapela Group, the leading voice expert, today announces the acquisition of CreaWave, a French start-up specialized in high quality vocal interfaces. CreaWave owns Flexiwave™, a ‘concept-to-speech’ technology that will complement and significantly expand the voice solutions Acapela can offer.
Flexiwave™ is an impressive achievement of ‘concept-to-speech’ technology that delivers very high quality human voices for domain-specific dialog applications. While ‘text-to-speech’ is based on text input, ‘concept-to-speech’ uses recurring domain specific parameters to generate an audio message. This technology complements perfectly Acapela’s range of voice solutions and offers new capabilities which push the boundaries of speech technology for an unprecedented, personalized user experience.
Flexiwave™ provides accurate, customizable messages to customers, either by phone, in the car or on public transport, with a very high quality, natural audio result.
"Acapela bespoke portfolio of text-to-speech voices in 34 languages has been widely used around the world for decades. While researching and developing the perfect synthetic voice, we had the pleasure of meeting the founders of CreaWave and both parties immediately saw the natural synergies between our companies. We look forward to developing new voice models for our customers that encompass the full audio chain and to offering advanced audio results that are perfectly adapted to their context" comments Lars-Erik Larsson, CEO of Acapela Group.
"We created CreaWave in 2013 to answer domain-specific needs for 100% natural and studio quality audio interfaces, using the innovative concept-to-speech technology. Today we are providing our customers with voice technology so human in nature it cannot be called technology. We are very enthusiastic about joining Acapela Group, about combining our expertise and technologies to invent new solutions and deliver advanced tools to our customers", say Remy and Didier Cadic, founders of CreaWave.
