Features and Benefits
  • Native-level natural audio!
    WorldVoice Japanese-Chinese-English-Korean 2
    You can have text read aloud in Japanese, Chinese, English (US), and Korean in Office software, web browsers, email software, and various other applications.

    Simply press the play button to have the document read aloud, so even beginners can operate it without confusion.

    *You cannot save the audio that is read aloud.
  • Playback with your preferred sound quality
    Read entire Japanese websites aloud
    You can set the speed (reading speed), pitch (voice pitch), and volume (reading volume). You can also freely change the pause time for periods and commas, allowing you to listen at a sound quality that is easy for you to understand.

    We have improved the audio quality compared to previous products. Furthermore, we have improved the audio engine to make it sound even closer to a human voice. In particular, the quality of Japanese audio has been significantly improved.
  • Register proper nouns and abbreviations in the user dictionary.
    Improve pronunciation by setting appropriate accents (^)
    Equipped with a user dictionary that allows you to register word and reading pairs. You can also specify accents and accent phrases.
    Registering proper nouns such as names and place names, as well as abbreviations, helps correct misreadings.
  • Improve your listening skills with repeat playback
    Range-specified reading of English Office documents (with repeat function ON)
    Also ideal for language learning.
    By repeatedly listening to audio from articles on foreign language websites, you can improve your listening skills. It can also be used for shadowing, where you speak along with the audio you hear.
  • Streamline your proofreading!
    Range-specified reading is very convenient for proofreading Office documents and other texts. By having the text you have created read aloud, typos, omissions, and spelling errors that you might have missed with your eyes become apparent, helping to streamline your proofreading work.
