Text-to-Speech Samples

Features and Benefits
  • High-quality, native-level audio
    By utilizing “HOYA Corporation’s ReadSpeaker,” the industry’s leading text-to-speech engine, any text is pronounced clearly. Furthermore, rather than reading text in a flat, monotonous tone like traditional text-to-speech systems, it achieves natural intonation that closely resembles a human voice.
  • Clear sound quality ideal for in-building announcements
    Speakers for Japanese, English (U.S./U.K.), Chinese, and Korean are available. With options ranging from bright to calm voices, as well as male and female voices, the system can be used in a wide variety of scenarios as a means of conveying information.
  • Versatile for All Applications
    If you want to change part of a predefined message, simply select it from the drop-down menu. There’s no need to register numerous similar announcements that differ only in time or location. The text will be automatically translated into the corresponding foreign language based on the selected Japanese text.

    “We need to make an urgent announcement, but we don’t have time to arrange a narrator…”
    Even in situations like this, you can rely on J-SERVER Guidance. You can freely enter text and have it automatically translated on the spot, allowing you to respond immediately to urgent announcements.
  • High-Precision Automatic Translation Engine
    Koden Corporation’s translation engine—developed through consistent dedication to improving language processing technology since our founding—ranks among the top in the Japanese industry!
    To further improve translation quality, high-performance tools are included as standard features. With specialized terminology dictionaries across multiple fields, user-customizable dictionaries, and translation memories that ensure consistent translations, you can easily boost translation accuracy and workflow efficiency. It is widely used by government agencies, major portal and e-commerce sites, social media platforms, and more.

    *Standard Edition only
  • Easy Multilingual Broadcasts with Predefined Templates

  • Real-time Multilingual Broadcasts
    The intuitive interface makes it easy even for first-time users! Large category buttons allow for intuitive navigation. You can freely organize your broadcast scripts into categories based on your content, making it very convenient to find the text you need. Simply replace the category icons with your own custom images to create a unique multilingual broadcast menu.
Implementation Cases
We have a proven track record of successful implementations with corporate clients, local governments (including prefectural offices and government-designated cities), and others.
