HAL Voices
HALvoices is here by popular demand of HAL users. You wanted HAL's voices to sound less like a talking computer - and more like a person. Welcome to HALvoices!
HALvoices are designed to make HAL's award-winning natural speech home control software more personable as HAL confirms user commands and reads Internet information like stock quotes, Email, and much more.
HALvoices includes both male and female voices, Michelle and Michael. This is an add-on product to the core HAL systems including HALbasic, HALdeluxe, and HAL2000. HALvoices delivers state-of-the-art synthetic speech that is so human-sounding it's hard to tell the difference. Once you install HALvoices on your HAL system, you will have the choice of using either of the original male/female voices or the new HALvoices. Eventually, we will offer a broad range of voices that may be used interchangeably with HAL systems.
Voice quality is a key feature in HAL home control systems. HAL software and hardware products give users the ability to control their homes - by voice - from anywhere. Users may speak to any microphone connected to the PC or to any phone anywhere to control lights, devices, appliances, thermostat, home theatre, security, telephone, and Internet with normal, conversational speech.
HAL's speech interface is interactive. HAL confirms user commands and retrieves Internet information on demand. Users may ask HAL to read stock quotes, news headlines, sports scores, weather reports, traffic, E-mail, and TV listings. Users may call the home from anywhere and tell HAL to read new E-mail messages or to turn on the front door lights and adjust the thermostat, etc. With HALvoices, you'll feel like you're talking to a person rather than a PC!
HALvoices represents a collaboration between Home Automated Living and AT&T. HALvoices employs the AT&T Labs Natural Voices text-to-speech engine. AT&T Labs has long been the world's speech technology pioneer, innovating the highest quality and most robust speech systems available anywhere. HAL built the AT&T technology into HALvoices because we found AT&T's technology to be the most realistic, human-sounding synthetic speech system available on the market today.
Improvements are being made in speech technology daily and HAL is working to include every technological advance in the HALvoices products. HAL users have grown accustomed to frequent free software updates. HALvoices will be updated similarly so you can be sure you will always have leading edge voice technology in your HAL system.
HALbasic, HALdeluxe, and HAL2000 all come with two default system voices, a male and a female voice. You can switch back and forth between either voice. HALvoices gives you two additional voices, "Michael" and "Michelle". Once HALvoices is installed, you can switch between the system voices and the two new HALvoices.
Click on the links below to compare the voices.
The voices can also be modified by adjusting the volume, rate, and pitch for each voice in the HAL software.
