Oslo - 15 June, 2009 – Edvantage group, an e-learning company and Managed Learning Service provider, today announces the launch of its unique
voiceover function for CourseBuilder (content authoring tool), CBVoice.
This is the first time an authoring tool has been fully integrated with voice synthesis to enable users to automatically generate
and add high-quality synthetic voiceovers to e-learning courses without the need to manually record and implement sound files,
cutting costs and speeding up course creation.
The capabilities of CBVoice revolutionise working with sound in e-learning development. CBVoice allows you to work with complete
and up-to-date voiceovers in any course, providing the full audiovisual experience for users from development and testing
phases to the final version. Authors can easily maintain full control of hundreds of sound files in multiple languages with
the latest version-handling capabilities, automatic file management and naming functions.
“This is the first time an authoring tool has been available with integrated advanced voice synthesis functionality, and shows
the innovative and customer-oriented focus of our SaaS (Software-as-a-Service) solutions” says Pal Brevik, Executive Vice
President SaaS Technologies, Edvantage group.
“As well as providing additional quality to the entire development process, CBVoice enables you to speed up the process by
reducing the amount of time spent working on audio files, both in review cycles and when implementing final sound” says Sven
Ove Sjølyst, Vice President CourseBuilder. “What we are most proud of, is that CBVoice is so easy to use, anyone can now add
full synthetic voiceovers to their courses in a matter of minutes!”
CBVoice uses licensed, world-class speech-synthesis technology from the Acapela Group, one of the world’s leading speech-synthesis
technology developers, and currently supports 24 different languages with multiple voices available for most.
CBVoice will be released 15th June, 2009. Clients can contact their nearest Edvantage group office for details on how to receive
