Expressive Text to Speech With Emotion, Tone and Accent Control

ProDirect, your AI voice director

Most text to speech voices read every script the same way. An ad comes out sounding like a manual, and a bedtime story like a news bulletin. ProDirect fixes that before a single word is spoken.

It reads your script, works out what it's for, and directs the voice on how to perform it: the tone, the pacing, the style and the emotion. That direction goes straight to the speech engine, so the whole read carries one deliberate intention instead of drifting from line to line.

You don't write a single instruction yourself. An ad sounds like an ad. A story sounds like a story.

• Shapes the delivery of the whole read
• No prompts or markup to write
• Works with or without the Script Enhancer

Script Enhancer

Where ProDirect shapes the whole read, the Script Enhancer works line by line. It reads your text and inserts expression tags where a person would naturally react: [laugh], [giggle], [sigh], [whisper], [pause], [happy] and more.

It also cleans up punctuation and pacing, so each line lands the way someone would actually say it.

Prefer to direct it yourself? Type the tags straight into your script. The enhancer checks the ones you wrote and makes sure they'll work when the speech engine reads them.

• Adds tags only where the script needs them
• Fixes punctuation and pacing along the way
• Checks tags you write by hand

Emotion, mood and accent on all 24 voices

A catalogue of 200 voices sounds impressive until you notice the same speaker listed several times, once per fixed performance. Pick a different mood and you've switched to a different speaker, and your channel has lost its voice.

SpeechWave counts base voices, not performances. Every one of the 24 can carry any mood, because emotion, speaking style, regional accent, speed and pitch are controls you apply to the voice itself.

So one narrator can front an upbeat ad, a calm tutorial and a serious explainer, and still sound like the same person.

78 languages and regional accents

Generate speech in 78 languages, from Spanish and French to Hindi and Japanese. Write a script once, localize it, and produce every version yourself, without hiring a voice actor for each market.

Regional accents adapt across the languages you generate in, so a voice keeps its character when it changes language. It's the quickest way to take one course, ad or channel into a new market.
