Hello, I'm going to ask you to
introduce yourself to present your activities.
00:04 Hi, my name is Roy Lindemann, I am co-founder of the company ReadSpeaker.
00:10 So we are the first ones to actually have written the concept of
vocalization of online content, especially two websites have been doing this
since 1999 and vocalizes the online content of websites thanks to the technology
of speech synthesis.
00:29 So that is why we convert the text that links to on websites, but also
mobile applications, digital books of documents online.
00:42 Send instantly and on the fly thanks therefore to our voice synthesis
technology.
00:48 And suddenly like instance learns is it instantaneous?
00:52 Yes, for the end user in fact there is no plugin to set up or download
anything, in fact he's going to click on the button and cost for example on a
web page.
01:01 And it will instantly convert the text in high quality voice because
speech synthesis, has come a long way since today they are vocal syntheses that
are created at the base by should see.
01:16 And so for the person from whom to click on the button of the elbows on
the page.
01:20 The person will be able to instantly listen to the content.
01:24 So I have another question for you so vocalizations and its presence on
the internet what does it bring what is it going to be like challenge for local
and territorial authorities?
01:33 So it was a very important sector for us the public sector and especially
local and territorial authorities, who actually have to offer their contents to
as many people as possible and especially for people who are suffering visually
impaired are born reading disabilities.
01:52 But also a tool of comfort for people elderly or just for people in a
situation of mobility have the opportunity to click listen.
02:01 Content offered by local authorities is really something very important.
02:07 Exactly in this approach because it is a today's topic of citizen
internet, to be able to offer different types of channels so that citizens can
access content proposed by local authorities.
02:19 So your solution allows in to go towards this path of the citizen internet
that actually allows.
02:26 I listen to his citizens and communicate with local communities.
02:32 Yes totally and offers another way for communities, to make available
content and updates day since the vocalization solution will actually convert to
text the text who is who update on the site.
02:49 And will allow that activity so to make available in audio form their
content for users.
02:59 Thank you very much.
