Mobile devices and applications are becoming integral parts of today’s automobile and everyday lives. Most drivers use navigation systems that guide them by reading out loud street and city names, points of interest (e.g. museums, gas stations, major companies) and real-time traffic information. In addition, content reading apps help people on the road get weather forecasts, news, stock reports, and other information. Natural, accurate, and intelligible text-to-speech voices make user experiences on the road pleasant and predictable.

With the release of a Russian Female Voice Tatyana, IVONA Software, an Amazon company, has expanded its growing portfolio to 45 high-quality voices in 18 languages. Each additional natural sounding voice and language improves text-to-speech user experience for developers, businesses, OEMs and our partners, allowing them to reach new customers.
