Develop Acapela Multimedia-enabled Applications Faster Complimentary architecture review

Integrate Acapela Multimedia voices faster with Chant tools and components. Have your applications talking with Acapela Multimedia voices in a matter of minutes. It’s that easy.

Or, if you prefer, have Chant provide you the code to drop into your applications and have them talking with little or no effort on your part at all.

Chant application-ready components simplify using Acapela Multimedia voices with either the Microsoft SAPI 4 or SAPI 5 SDK, or Acapela Multimedia SDK.

The benefit of using the native Acapela Multimedia BabTTS API when synthesizing is that it eliminates additional SAPI 4 or SAPI 5 processing and allows your applications to take full advantage of Acapela Multimedia features not supported in SAPI. Your applications can also take advantage of Chant features not implemented in either SDK such as:

  • Control synthesis requests with built-in queue manger.
  • Synthesize from a variety text data input formats and generate audio data in a variety of output formats.
  • Select and adjust synthesizer and audio options and property settings dynamically.
  • Integrate with almost any application type, architecture, programming language, and development environment used for Windows platforms.

Integrate Acapela Multimedia Voices Faster with SpeechKit

Integrate Acapela Multimedia voices faster with SpeechKit

You can easily manage Acapela Multimedia voices within your applications using SpeechKit 5 from Chant. Your applications can:

  • Synthesize speech from anywhere within your application.
  • Automatically synthesize message box text.
  • Easily enumerate and select a voice.
  • Easily adjust the spoken output speed, volume, and pitch.
  • Take advantage of built-in audio management and synthesize to the audio format needed by your application.
  • Synthesize text from strings, buffers, streams, and files.
  • Playback audio or write to buffers, streams, and files.
  • Access detailed synthesis result attributes and properties.
  • Persist property settings across executions.
  • Process requests synchronously or asynchronously with built-in queue manager.

With SpeechKit in the Chant Developer Workbench interactive environment, you can:

  • Enumerate audio devices and voice for selection and command line testing of audio- and synthesizer-specific features.
  • Trace audio and synthesis events.
