Phiware Voice is a division of Phiware Engineering, and its objective is to offer automatic, natural text to speech conversion, as a service over the web, using synthetic voices (TTS - Text to Speech). At present, we offer a service that generates the audio version of your web site's pages, improving their accessibility and helping people who may have difficulty in reading the contents by themselves, or who simply prefer listening.

Completely free to end-users, you control what's read, and with a choice of the highest quality male, female and regional voices, your visitors will have the best listening experience.
As a hosted service, it is extremely easy to add to your website and requires no additional software to be installed on your web server: just add a link and start listening!

Benefits

Speech-enabling your website has enormous benefits for you and your customers. It enables access to your website for millions of people who have difficulty reading and may prefer to listen - people with dyslexia, low literacy, impaired vision and those who are not native speakers.

It also helps you to comply with legislation: the Disability Discrimination Act requires website owners to make their sites accessible to people with disabilities.

But not only: the audio content can be saved for a delayed listening using a mobile device.

Additionally, we are ready to customise the service to match your specific needs; if adding the voice makes you already thinking to that special use for your business, please contact us: we are ready to accept the challenge!
