TTS systems are used in a variety of applications, including training, navigation systems, translation services and assistance systems.
  • What is speech synthesis?
    Speech synthesis refers to the process of computer-generating human-like speech from text or other speech data without resorting to recorded speech. This is done by using algorithms that replicate the phonetic, prosodic and melodic structure of speech. This often involves the use of synthetic voices consisting of sound models and sound libraries.
  • What is customer experience (CX)?
    Customer experience (CX) refers to the totality of all experiences that a customer has with a company, a brand or a product. This includes both direct interactions with the company (e.g. through the purchase of a product or the use of a service) and indirect experiences (e.g. through advertising or the public's perception of the brand). The focus of CX is on improving the customer's experience and thereby increasing their satisfaction, loyalty and willingness to recommend the company.
  • What does audio/voice customer experience mean?
    Audio/voice customer experience refers to a customer's interaction with a company via audio and voice channels such as telephone, voice control, voice assistants and voice bots.

  • What is Acoustic Service Design?
    Acoustic Service Design refers to the design and development of acoustic service experiences in services, products and interaction systems. This includes the design of sound environments, the development of acoustic and vocal identities and the conceptualisation of acoustic interactions (e.g. voice control). The aim is to create a pleasant and functional acoustic environment that supports users and does not burden them.
  • What is IVR (Interactive Voice Response)?
    IVR stands for Interactive Voice Response and refers to a technology that allows users to interact telephonically with a computer-based system by making keystrokes on their phone. An IVR system uses a speech synthesis engine and menu structure to provide callers with a variety of options and information services without the involvement of a human operator.
  • What does voice/user/interface design mean?
    Voice/User/Interface Design is a subfield of design that focuses on the design of voice-based user interfaces for technology systems, such as virtual assistants, smart home devices or automotive systems. It involves considering the usability, interaction and sound quality of voice-based systems to create a simple, intuitive and enjoyable user experience. This includes the definition of conversational flows, the use of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to enable smooth interaction, and the design of sound quality, including the choice of voice and the use of sound design elements to create a unique sound brand. Voice/user/interface design is an important factor in creating a positive user experience and reinforcing a brand by enabling a consistent and authentic interaction.
  • What is 8Khz audio quality?
    8kHz is a unit of measurement for the sampling rate in audio technology, which indicates the number of samples per second used to convert analogue sound waves into digital signals. In telephony systems, the sampling rate plays an important role in determining the quality of the spoken voice signal. A higher sampling rate (e.g. 8kHz) means that more samples are recorded per second, which usually results in higher sound quality and greater transmission reliability. This is particularly important in telephony systems, as the transmission of voice over a telephone network is often affected by interference and distortion. A higher sampling rate can help to ensure that the spoken voice signal is clearer and more intelligible, even when transmitted over long distances or in poor network conditions.
  • What is a voice bot?
    A voice bot is a computer programme designed to conduct human-like conversations via voice. They are often used to fulfil customer needs in real time by acting as virtual assistants or in customer service systems. By using a voice bot, a brand can create a pleasant and memorable customer experience that helps to reinforce a positive brand and stand out from competitors.
  • What is Conversational A.I.?
    Conversational AI plays an important role in sound branding in terms of creating memorable and authentic sound identities for organisations. It makes it possible to generate human-like interactions through voice-based systems such as chatbots, virtual assistants or customer service systems that can convey a unique and recognisable sound brand. This can help to ensure that the interaction with the organisation is consistent and authentic for the user, which can lead to a better customer experience and reinforce the brand.
  • What is conversational design?
    Conversational design refers to the process of designing human-like conversations between users and technology systems, such as chatbots, virtual assistants or customer service systems. This includes the definition of conversational flows, the use of natural language processing (NLP) and machine learning to enable a smooth and intuitively accessible interaction. In terms of sound branding, it is important that conversational design also takes into account the sound identity of an organisation. This can mean that the tone and voice used for the conversation conveys a consistent and authentic sound brand that is consistent with the organisation's brand. A well-designed conversational design with sound branding in mind can help ensure that the interaction with the company is consistent and authentic for the user, which can lead to a better customer experience and reinforce the brand.

  • Critical aspects of voice branding
    There are some critical aspects to consider when it comes to voice branding: Legal issues: voice branding can raise legal issues, particularly in relation to the use of celebrity voices or the use of protected intellectual property. Companies should ensure that they have the necessary permissions and licences before using voice branding. Target group: Voice branding must be aimed at the target group for which it is intended. A voice or language that is appropriate for one age group or culture may be inappropriate for another.
