Acapela High Quality TTS gets the part for Lucy's voice.

Davi Interactive, an interactive 3D animation creation and production studio for multimedia applications, has chosen Acapela High Quality TTS to speech-enable Lucy, one of their virtual hostesses.

"Computers lack humanity. Our 3D animated actors are living interfaces who can listen and speak, so as to enable a more natural and intuitive means of communication than a keyboard and mouse." says Pascal Arbault, Managing Director of Davi Interactive.

The way in which Lucy demonstrates the new possibilities that text to speech can offer when used with Speech Recognition and a communication engine in terms of fun, human-like relationship applications, speaks for itself.

Davi Interactive's human actors can give advice, assistance, help, or just entertain the end-users. They can be hosts or mascots to a trademark, but also presenters, salespeople, trainers, technicians or messengers.

As a software integrator, Davi Interactive works with La Cantoche (real-time 3D agent animation Living Actor technology), amongst others, to offer turnkey solutions to clients who are looking for an original way to animate a website and improve their relationship with their visitors.
