Robots just got a serious voice upgrade! If you’ve been using Synthiam ARC’s default speech synthesis, get ready for a major improvement.
What’s New in Synthiam ARC?
Over the past few weeks, Synthiam ARC has received multiple updates focused on performance improvements and enhanced features. Among these, one of the most exciting upgrades is how robots handle speech synthesis.
Goodbye Old Robot Voice, Hello High-Quality Speech!
Previously, ARC included a basic text-to-speech voice for use with the Audio Say
script command. While functional, it sounded outdated. Now, with the latest update, ARC allows robot skills to override the default voice, making it easier than ever to upgrade to a high-quality text-to-speech engine.
Key Improvements:
- Seamless integration with premium text-to-speech providers like Azure and OpenAI.
- No need to manually change every
Audio Say
command—just add a compatible skill, and the voice updates automatically. - Enhanced clarity and natural-sounding speech, making your robots more engaging and lifelike.
How It Works
Traditionally, using premium text-to-speech required adding a ControlCommand
to make a robot skill speak. Now, all existing Audio Say
script commands in your project will automatically switch to the new voice when a supported skill is added.
