Subject: iPod Speaks with Expressivo Voices
IPod Speaks With Ivona's Voices
By PR Solutions
A new version of Expressivo, software capable of reading any text with a 
human
voice, has been launched. Expressivo version 1.3 is the first application of
this type in the world to be fully integrated with iPods.
iPod supports Expressivo because the application has been integrated with
iTunes - commonly available freeware for iPods. Any text read by Expressivo
is automatically added to iTunes library as an audio file. Here it can be 
stored
or copied to the player. With just one mouse click. Expressivo 1.3 makes it 
also
easier to create audiobooks as it has new functions
accelerating audio file creation process.
Expressivo's integration with iPod is certainly good news for over a 100 
million
users of this most popular portable music player in the world. And for 
almost a
million of iPhone users. Now, thanks to Expressivo, they can
always have with them their favorite book or even a library and listen to it
anytime, e.g. while walking or in a car. iPod with Expressivo can also help
with work (e.g. reading out e-mails, RSS news or planned events from the
planner) and study (e.g. reading out lectures or facilitating learning of a
foreign language). Texts read by Expressivo can also be played on other MP3
players, cell phones and palmtops.
You can test Expressivo "virtual voices" in the free Text To Speech Service:
http://say.expressivo.com.

You just enter any text in the appropriate window. Then you choose the voice

to
read the text. Four voices are available, speaking three languages (English,
Polish and Romanian). Then you can send the voice message which
you have generated to your friends via e-mail or publish it in the Web (e.g.

on
a blog).
Expressivo Text Reader is powered by IVONA Text-To-Speech (TTS). The speech
generation technology developed by IVO Software is regarded as one of the 
best
in the world. In this year's prestigious international Blizzard Challenge 
IVONA
won acclaim confirming its success from 2006 when 135
experts chose IVONA as offering the best voice quality.
