Acapela Adds TTS Voices to Scene Partner

Acapela Group has released 16 new voices for Scene Partner 2.3, an app to help actors memorize their lines.

Scene Partner is an app for Apple's iPhone, iPad, and iPod Touch devices. Taking advantage of the Acapela text-to-speech technology built into the app, actors can play their lines, their cues, or whole scenes. They can even record their own voices and the voices of their fellow actors and merge them with the TTS playback. 

The new additions include three new U.S. English voices, including "Micah" a male voice with a Southern twang. There are also a U.K. female voice, an Australian male voice, and a female voice from India. Scene Partner 2.3 also introduces the first non-English language voices for the app, including French, German, Italian, Spanish, and Mandarin Chinese speakers. The additional voices are available via In App Purchase for just $1.99 each. 

This brings to 35 the number of voices available in the Scene Partner app.
