Corriere della Sera

Leading Italian newspaper enhances reader experience with ReadSpeaker's industry-leading text-to-speech (TTS) technology.

The Challenge

Corriere della Sera, Italy’s leading news publication, sought to enhance its digital presence and cater to a wider audience by making its online content more accessible and engaging.

The publication recognized the potential of text-to-speech (TTS) technology to provide an alternative way for readers to consume news articles, especially for those with visual impairments, reading difficulties, or busy lifestyles who prefer audio consumption.

However, they desired two unique voices that would align with their brand identity and resonate with their audience.

The Solution

Corriere della Sera partnered with ReadSpeaker to develop a custom voice solution tailored to their specific needs.

ReadSpeaker’s team of voice experts and linguists collaborated closely with the publication to create two exclusive voices, one male and one female, that embodied the brand’s personality and tone.

The custom voices were designed to sound natural, expressive, and engaging, ensuring a pleasant listening experience for users.

 

 

Outcome

The implementation of ReadSpeaker’s custom voices on Corriere della Sera’s website resulted in significant benefits:

  • Enhanced Accessibility: The TTS functionality made the news articles accessible to a wider audience, including those with visual impairments and reading difficulties, fostering greater inclusivity.
  • Increased Engagement: The option to listen to articles appealed to users who preferred audio consumption, leading to increased dwell time and content engagement.
  • Brand Differentiation: The unique custom voices strengthened Corriere della Sera’s brand identity and differentiated them from competitors, leaving a lasting impression on their audience.
  • Positive User Feedback: Users expressed appreciation for the convenience and accessibility of the TTS feature, highlighting its positive impact on their news consumption experience.

Overall, the collaboration between Corriere della Sera and ReadSpeaker resulted in a successful implementation of custom voice technology, enhancing the publication’s digital presence, improving accessibility, and fostering greater engagement with its audience.

 

“Engaging ReadSpeaker as a strategic partner in the development of exclusive digital voices for Corriere della Sera was a decision based on the VoiceLab team’s collaborative and consultative approach. They worked closely with us from the conceptual development phase all the way through to final delivery, providing a seamless blend of technical expertise and strategic guidance.”
