WxVoice™ 

Beta Version

WxVoice is an automated voice-back system that uses your PC's voice modem to speak the current and past weather conditions over the telephone.  WxVoice takes advantage of Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology to produce a more natural sounding dialogue than other products that use pre-recorded numbers and phrases.  WxVoice is an add-on product to WxSolution.  WxVoice uses the built-in Speech capabilities of Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.

Features:

  • Five fully customizable messages (uses same tags as WxSolution):
  • Greeting: Announces the name and location of the station.
  • Current: For the current conditions.
  • Current Day: Highs and lows for today.
  • Previous Day: Highs and lows for yesterday.
  • Closing: For any closing remarks.
  • If no voice modem is installed, then WxVoice will "speak" on the computer speakers.

System requirements:

  • Windows 2000/XP/Vista/7.
  • Windows supported voice modem with its sound drivers installed - must have "Unimodem half-duplex audio driver" under "Sound, video and game controllers" in Device Manager.
