The synthesized text can be sent directly to a telephone line or saved to a file. Thanks to its architecture IVONA Telecom is very efficient - it can handle up to 100+ channels using single core processor power. It comes with a commandline interface and compliance with the Microsoft Speech API and MRCP standard. IVONA TTS currently supports US-English, Romanian and Polish voices.

Integrating with the Voxpilot OMP through MRCP the IVONA TTS solution provides Text-To-Speech resources to the distributed call control and VoiceXML-based media processing platform.
