Name Pronunciation
We have released version 2 of the E-Speech name pronunciation software, containing many improvements over the original software, especially for business and geographical terms. It can be used with speech recognition and with text-to-speech, and it supports popular phonetic alphabets. E-Speech offers the most accurate name pronunciation software available today. The software runs on Win95/98/NT/2000/XP, and various Unix systems, including Linux, and is easy to integrate with applications.

Spanish Synthesis
E-Speech has introduced a Latin-American Spanish synthesis system that speaks people's names with extremely high sound quality. The system converts orthography to phonemes and stress marks and, based on E-Speech's proprietary subword concatenation algorithms, generates speech from its sound inventory.
