“By working with text-to-speech technology, we eliminate the set-up costs, while the variable costs decrease significantly. And because we are doing more international business, text-to-speech technology makes the company much more flexible. We no longer have to search for voice actors and are in a position to produce audio faster and make corrections if necessary.”
“For those learners with reading difficulties, text-to-speech has opened a world of learning to them and helped improve their literacy levels so they can now communicate using the written word far more effectively. This can have quite significant positive impacts on their employment and lifestyle opportunities.”
“ReadSpeaker has become a terrific addition to our educational platform in which we teach effective communication skills. We work with learners who have varying levels of English proficiency. When we show the simple text-to-speech and translation functions we are greeted with smiles and deep appreciation. ReadSpeaker is essential to the work we do.”
“Because The Simulation Crew’s strategy consists of doing more international business, text-to-speech technology makes the company much more flexible. We no longer have to search for voice actors, and are in a position to produce audio faster and make corrections if necessary.”
“I finally found a voice that doesn’t sound like a robot (Roxane). We use voices to enrich our content and make it more accessible. Going through an actor is not cheap and is time-consuming. In addition, as it is easy to use, my collaborators can use the tool at any time for any modifications.”
“Using ReadSpeaker significantly enhances our internal learning materials. The tools are user-friendly and produce high-quality audio, making our content more engaging and accessible. Working as a contractor for the US Government we appreciate ReadSpeaker’s support and privacy policies.”

Technology like text to speech (TTS) improves digital accessibility. Accessibility refers to making information readily available and easy to digest for all types of learners.
It’s essential to make workplace training accessible for employees with disabilities or language challenges, who may rely on certain accommodations in order to access content to the same extent as their peers.
However, accessibility tools can also be helpful in making your message clear and understandable for other learners, too. When applied to corporate training, you can expect to see improvements in employee satisfaction and performance.
ReadSpeaker’s TTS solutions have been developed to give every individual an equal user experience in accordance with W3C Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Yes! Adding text to speech to any type of video content—YouTube videos, online training modules, screencasts, explainer animations, or anything else—will enhance its effectiveness.
With TTS you can:
Our text-to-speech technology allows you to create quick AI voiceovers directly from a script, whether it’s the actual video screen content or a new script you create to go along with the video. Generating audio voice files is as simple as pasting text into a ReadSpeaker production tool.
ReadSpeaker’s speechMaker Desktop is ideal for adding TTS to videos because it can be used without an internet connection. Once the script sounds just right, download the audio files in the format of your choice and then upload them to your video editor. Your video narration is ready to go!
ReadSpeaker’s lifelike voices are thanks to deep learning technology. Deep learning is a type of machine learning (a subfield of artificial intelligence) that uses deep neural networks, or DNNs—computational models that are highly efficient at expressing very complex mathematical functions.
Explained very simply, we train DNN models to learn about the numerous abstract features of the human voice by feeding them recordings of human speech. DNN models classify this data, passing it through various processing layers and sorting it into more and more complex classifications.
Our neural TTS voices require at least three distinct DNN models, which combine data around pitch, timbre, and rhythm to create the overall voice reproduction. Finally, the output layer of the DNN produces the final result: a TTS voice that sounds uncannily like human speech.
DNN-based TTS systems sound more natural than other types of TTS, and that’s our focus here at ReadSpeaker.
Many organizations choose to use a custom voice to accompany all their digital training material. That makes sense—your training material represents your brand, just like any product!
At ReadSpeaker, we’re happy to work with you to develop an all-original voice for your brand. We start by finding an exceptional voice actor whose vocal qualities echo your brand personality.
Those voice recordings provide the training data that informs our deep neural networks. Then we’ll work with you to further improve the prosody, speaking speed, pitch, and pronunciation accuracy until you approve the final product.
The result is warm, lifelike, synthetic speech that perfectly reflects your brand, ready for use in all your current and future training materials!
The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) provides “academic adjustments, reasonable accommodations, and auxiliary aids” for those with physical or cognitive disabilities.
The ADA doesn’t include specific rules for digital accessibility (it was created before the internet as we know it existed!). However, you are likely compliant with ADA if your digital content meets Level AA criteria of the Web Content Accessibility Guidelines (WCAG).
Assistive technologies such as text to speech are an integral part of these measures that provide equal opportunity in the workplace and in education.
Readily available, easily-integrated and dynamically updated.
