Acapela Group gives a voice to all your products and services. We invent voice solutions to give the say to content and enrich user interfaces in a natural and intuitive way based on our comprehensive technologies.
VaaS is a web API, that you call with the service URL + a voice name + a text and you get the vocalized sound back. You will also be able to add tunings on the sound produced by the API like format, voice speed, equalizer, etc. VaaS also offers some additional features besides text vocalization like: sound & text files storage, voice enumeration, lexicon management, jingle insertion, music mixing etc.
