Acapela Group and AI have Signs a Global Partnership for Advanced Multilingual Speech Solutions to enhancing their speech solution offerings and providing their customers with an enriched catalogue of languages and voices. The partnership allows cross distribution of AI and Acapela TTS solutions. Acapela multilingual TTS, available in 34 languages, will be exclusively distributed in Japan by AI while Acapela Group will provide an improved version of its Japanese TTS resulting from the collaboration outside of Japan. With this partnership, Acapela Group looks forward to expanding the adoption of Acapela multilingual voices in Japan while AI foresees answering the needs of foreign residents and tourists in Japan for voice-enabled multilingual services, which should considerably increase by 2020 with the Olympic Games.
