Oddcast – Text to Speech

Overview

Text-to-Speech functionality allows our characters to speak any text dynamically, in real time with accurate lip-synching. Special effects can also be applied to the audio, including emotive cues and expressions. This functionality comes as an alternative or compliment to a real human voices, and is often used in conjunction with our Record by Phone and Record by Mic technologies. TTS is available in 25 languages, including translation from and back to English or other languages. We also offer Text to Sing technology.
