Voice Guidance

Epson

- Opening new worlds through spoken communication -

What is sought after by Epson is total speech solution that is simple and handy. It does not require recordings at a studio. It is capable of generating high-quality natural sounding voice under high compression data.

These are leading players of secure, safe, and convenient life produced by Epson.

Voice Guidance

Feature 1. No need for studio recording

Using Epson speech & audio LSIs for your products featuring voice guidance functions means there's no need to arrange recording studios or hire professional voice performers. This allows you to significantly reduce the product development costs and time to market. The TTS tool available from Epson makes it easy to create or modify your speech phrases. Japanese, English, and Korean language versions are now available.

Feature 2. Excellent sound quality for messages up to 4 times longer

8MB approx 1hour 6min approx 16min approx 33min
16MB approx 2hour 13min approx 33min approx 1hour 6min

Epson's highly efficient encoding format allows for longer phrases with excellent sound quality. The integrated high-quality 16-bit DAC produces a "silky voice" that can be coupled with high quality sound effects.

Feature 3. Easy to integrate

Epson's voice guidance LSIs use a message protocol based on asynchronous serial interface. This means they are easily integrated into a wide range of host devices and microcontrollers, reducing development time and costs, and helping achieve faster time to market.

Feature 4. Easy Development by S1V3G340 + EPSON Speech Tool

The combination of the All in One PC tool "Silky Voice" generator, and use of external SPI-Flash with the S1V3G340 makes it easy to create, write and evaluate voice data. The created voice ROM data can be written to SPI-Flash from a Host CPU via the S1V3G340. The use of high-quality audio and a high-compression format also enables the loading of large voice data capacity.
