AT&T Intellectual Property and Wizzard Software Expand Reseller Agreement for AT&T Natural Voices Text-To-Speech Software

AT&T Intellectual Property announced an expanded agreement with Wizzard Software to provide licensing and support for AT&T Natural Voices™, the company's award-winning text-to-speech software. As part of the agreement, Wizzard will offer and support the latest versions of AT&T Natural Voices across a variety of platforms.

AT&T Natural Voices is a state-of-the-art text-to-speech software engine that provides natural-sounding voice output to enhance virtually any application, product or service. The result of decades of AT&T Labs research into advanced text-to-speech capabilities, the platform delivers multilingual and multiple voice selection in one engine and is ideal for applications where the most natural-sounding voices are critical.

"AT&T Intellectual Property is focused on driving innovations that improve how we communicate, work and live," said Lisa McFarlin, executive director of technology licensing for AT&T Intellectual Property. "In many cases, the company delivers these innovations directly, but we also recognize the value of making new capabilities available to the larger marketplace via licensing arrangements. Our new agreement with Wizzard is a great example of this approach, enabling any application developer to take advantage of the same state-of-the-art text-to-speech capabilities that power the hosted AT&T VoiceTone® Service."

Wizzard Software offers developers and businesses state-of-the-art speech software developer kits and distribution licenses, making it easy for them to incorporate text-to-speech into their applications.

"The technology developed by AT&T Labs includes a highly flexible engine with language and voice-specific custom dictionaries that allows users to define the pronunciation of certain words and customize speaking rate, volume and voices, resulting in a very natural sounding synthetic speech system," said Bruce Phifer, General Manager of Wizzard Technology & Services Division. "The combination of this extraordinary and scalable technology with Wizzard's low cost deployment licensing model is a win-win for developers, integrators and business clients, allowing them to produce substantial savings and efficiencies by automating applications or services."
