Automotive and Text to Speech

ReadSpeaker text-to-speech solutions for connected automotive systems

Are you developing leading-edge systems for the automotive industry? ReadSpeaker TTS voices provide high-quality, scalable speech solutions for enhanced vehicle-user experiences.

The automotive industry has changed drastically in recent years. For over a century, old-fashioned, four- or two-wheeled vehicles were equipped with rather similar sets of features. Today, the industry paradigm is shifting towards connected vehicles and advanced features such as cloud computing, big data, and the Internet of Things (IoT). The OEM industry has started applying big data with a view to enhancing end user experiences and optimizing the automobile manufacturing supply chain.

Self-driving, autonomous or semi-autonomous driving technology has not been the only area to see recent developments and advancements. Car manufacturers are increasingly demanding embedded speech solutions in their GPS and navigation systems, as well as their telematics systems. ReadSpeaker’s text-to-speech products enhance the in-car experience, providing better control over onboard systems and maximizing safety, productivity, and overall enjoyment.

Navigation Systems

OEM developers seek integrated automotive solutions that combine navigation systems with media and phone control and a simple, easy-to-use interface. They are also looking for lifelike, natural-sounding voices to integrate into their in-dash applications. ReadSpeaker provides both the functionality and the technological edge to advance what synthetic voices can sound like and the benefits they offer.

On the other hand, car owners and drivers want more flexibility from their automobiles. As laws prohibiting drivers from using mobile phones behind the wheel continue to be passed, and hands-free options become mandatory around the world, ReadSpeaker’s text-to-speech solutions for automotive make perfect sense for drivers who want to stay connected without the extra distractions.

Additionally, our solutions can cross over to serve motor vehicles beyond just cars. Motorcycle owners, as well as the operators of various types of off-road vehicles, could also benefit from the addition of text-to-speech software into their vehicles and equipment.

Voice Quality

Our top-of-the-line voices in multiple languages improve GPS navigation systems by giving drivers and passengers clearly spoken, accurately pronounced directions and advanced routing to guide them safely and confidently to their end destinations. Each voice’s tone is conversational and natural, propelling the technology into a role that feels far more like a car voice assistant with a personality than just a lifeless tool.

Outbound Communications

Outbound communications between dealerships and customers for items like appointment confirmations, scheduled service reminders, and promotion and sales updates can easily be automated using one of ReadSpeaker’s custom voices.

Usage-based vehicle insurance

Insurance companies are increasingly using IoT data to their advantage, including for risk assessment and pricing. An outcome is usage based insurance (UBI), a category of motor insurance that considers data on the vehicle driven, such as distance travelled and driver behavior, rewarding less accident-prone safe driving, which helps insurance companies reduce claims payouts and improve their bottom line. ReadSpeaker TTS voices are an effective way to alert drivers to any safety hazards or parameters requiring their immediate attention, without taking their eyes off the road.

Vehicle-to-everything technology (V2X)

An important aspect, which is not limited to autonomous and semi-autonomous vehicles, includes intelligent traffic systems, collision avoidance, parking management systems, emergency vehicle notifications, and remote monitoring and diagnostics. V2X enables vehicles to receive warnings regarding real-time traffic and alerts related to accidents or other hazards. ReadSpeaker’s clear and lifelike voices effectively speech enable vehicle systems in order to keep users informed in real time.

In-vehicle health monitoring

Looking into the near future, car manufacturers are engaged in developing solutions that leverage biometric technologies in order to develop in-vehicle health monitoring systems. The objective is to detect and address alterations in health parameters, including driver fatigue, sleep deprivation, and heart-related issues, and activate the respective warning systems. ReadSpeaker TTS voices are the perfect fit here and are always ready to update automobile users in a user-friendly manner, whenever the need arises.

Benefits

ReadSpeaker text-to-speech solutions easily integrate into your internal server or PC-based and mobile applications, running intelligent voice services reliably and efficiently.
