Multilingual Automatic Translation and Speech Synthesis System "J-SERVER Guidance"

Speech Synthesis Sample

You can listen to the industry-leading sample audio included in J-server Guidance.
It is widely used for disaster prevention, public transportation, and in-store announcements in commercial facilities.

Features and Benefits

High-quality, native-level audio

By adopting the industry-leading speech synthesis engine, "HOYA Corporation's ReadSpeaker," any text can be pronounced clearly. Furthermore, instead of reading text in a flat tone like conventional speech synthesis, it achieves natural intonation close to a human voice.
Clear sound quality suitable for public address systems

Speakers for Japanese, English (US/UK), Chinese, and Korean are on standby. We offer a variety of voices, including bright and calm tones, as well as male and female voices, which can be used in a wide range of scenarios as a means of conveying information.
Useful in all kinds of usage scenarios

When you want to change a part of a template sentence, you can simply select it from a pull-down menu. There is no need to register many similar broadcast messages that only differ in time or location. The selected Japanese text will be translated into the corresponding foreign language.

"I can't arrange a narrator in time for a sudden broadcast..."
Even in such cases, J-SERVER Guidance provides peace of mind. You can freely enter text and have it automatically translated on the spot, allowing you to respond immediately to urgent broadcasts.
High-precision automatic translation engine

Kodensha's translation engine, which has been consistently refined through our dedication to improving language processing technology since our founding, is among the best in the domestic industry!
To further improve translation quality, high-performance tools are included as standard. Easily increase translation accuracy and work efficiency with specialized terminology dictionaries for various fields, user dictionaries that can be customized by the user, and translation memory that can adjust translations for improved consistency. It is widely used by government agencies, major portal and e-commerce sites, and social media platforms.
