Cepstral TTS Voices Released for Mac OS X

PITTSBURGH - Cepstral LLC released its Swift Text-to-Speech (TTS) software on Apple's Mac OS X operating system. The operating system has built-in support for speech technology, and can take advantage of Cepstral's voices.

Apple (AAPL) has built speech services directly into the OS X operating system and user interface. With Cepstral's new 3.2 release, Cepstral voices integrate under the Apple Speech Manager, and are then available to all applications and services that use TTS. Integrated speech technology allows vocalization of all types of menus, system alerts, Web browser, and text content anywhere without requiring a separate program.
