ScriptSpeak x Macy Gilson
Last fall I had the opportunity to partner with ScriptSpeak, a text-to-speech software company uses AI to convert written content into verbal speech. Trent and Clay Martin, the founders of Script Speak, are helping companies reach a larger audience by making written content more accessible and I am so impressed with their innovation and attention to detail. After using ScriptSpeak for the past few months, I can assure you that it is the best feature on my website, for a variety of reasons.
First and foremost, as a disability advocate, I am so thankful that ScriptSpeak has found a way to better serve the visually-impaired community by ensuring that every piece of content on my website is accessible. It is my desire to continue evolving my content to become more and more accessible, and embedding ScriptSpeak on my site was a huge step toward that goal.
Additionally, as a speech pathologist, I often find that text-to-audio doesn’t reflect true intonation and speech patterns, but ScriptSpeak picks up on the subtle pauses and portrays a natural flow of speech. ScriptSpeak’s software also impressed in the ease with which it was able to accurately pronounce medical terminology. My blog posts, as well as the stories submitted by families, often include terms with complex pronunciation and ScriptSpeak has had no difficulty converting these terms and consistently portraying natural human speech.
In addition to being the leading cloud audio platform in the United States, here are some really amazing features that ScriptSpeak offers:
Human-like Audio
Unfortunately, so many text-to-speech softwares utilize unnatural speech, making it sound more like a computer, and less like a human. ScriptSpeak’s AI audio uses suprasegmentals - such as prosody, intonation and pitch - to create a natural sounding speech pattern (which makes my speech pathologist’s heart so happy)!
Customization
ScriptSpeak offers a variety of customization options, including the appearance of the audio player (mine is pink to match my website) and the audio files themselves. Users can upload their own audio files, or use a voice talent to create their desired audio.
No Coding!
I have very minimal knowledge when it comes to coding and the other complexities that go along with website integration, so if HTML seems daunting to you, too, you’re in luck! ScriptSpeak does all of the coding for you, so all you have to do is add it to your site.
