United Press International Launches Web-Based Speech-Enabling Application
United Press International (UPI.com) partners with VoiceCorp to launch ReadSpeaker, a web-based speech enabling technology.
Washington, DC (PRWEB) November 4, 2009 -- On November 1, 2009, United Press International will launch the use of a web-based speech-enabling application to enhance the UPI.com reader experience and increase the accessibility of UPI.com content for everyone.
ReadSpeaker Enterprise is VoiceCorp’s latest generation of web based text-to-speech services, bringing on-line speech enabling to the next level. This service will allow UPI.com readers to listen to articles in English and Spanish by clicking a small icon at the top of each article without the need for downloading and installing additional programs.
The fact that most of the content on the Internet today is text based may create problems for some, but this new feature for UPI.com will allow those otherwise incapable of reading online content the ease of listening to UPI.com articles and features. “We are pleased to partner with VoiceCorp and implement ReadSpeaker on our stories,” says Seyla Seng, Director of Online Advertising. “It’s another way for us to give our audience a better user experience.”
Readspeaker applications are being used on thousands of websites and by millions of people every month. ReadSpeaker applications are developed by VoiceCorp.
