Key Benefits
  • Reduced Costs
    RealSpeak Word reduces the bill of materials by delivering a speech quality equal to recorded solutions in substantially less memory. Nuance's unique coding-by-synthesis approach also eliminates the need for time consuming recording sessions.
  • Enhanced User Experience
    RealSpeak Word delivers crisp, clear sound and high intelligibility. With its native 11 kHz sampling, the product offers larger bandwidth for outstanding speech quality.
  • RealSpeak Word Studio
    150,000 accurate word pronunciations are immediately available in RealSpeak Word Studio. Nuance provides RealSpeak Word Studio, a user-friendly and powerful PC tool that enables talking dictionary developers to add more words for less cost while maintaining exceptional quality.
  • Low Footprint
    RealSpeak Word supports very large vocabularies with very low memory (for example, 3.5 MB for 90,000 words), and supports the ability to significantly increase word coverage using little additional memory.
  • Low CPU Requirements
    RealSpeak Word runs on a 1 - 2 MIPS HOST processor when combined with Nuance's SSFT6040 chip, or as software only, requiring no more than 12 MIPS.
