Recommendation: Voice Reader Studio is perfect for professional use.
Test the excellent sound quality in our audio samples. Brockhaus multimedial appreciates the exceptional speech quality of Voice Reader Studio and has opted to use it for the sound-tracking of all 260,000 lexicon articles in the 2009 version. Have a listen!
The benefits at a glance:
- Fast and efficient conversion from text to audio (32 KBit/s - 160 KBit/s)
- Male and female voices to choose from (only available for British English and German)
- Easy to use editor function for correcting default pronunciation
- Saving specific pronunciation properties in speaker profiles
- Integrating sound effects
- Easy pronunciation, dialog and pause control
- Licensed unlimited distribution of created audio files
Professional text recording
Constant lack of time and a visual information overflow are often the causes of even the most important texts being overlooked. With audio files your readers can decide themselves what information they want to listen to. Your readers gain flexibility; you gain greater coverage.
The Studio edition: Professional and simple
Voice Reader Studio has the complete functionality of the Voice Reader Home - and a good deal more. What's the same? Text is converted to audio with a simple touch of a button and quick as a flash - as usual!
"Hello, my name is Marc"
Voice Reader Studio now also has a male voice in the exceptional Voice Reader quality. And you can also have a friendly male avatar as an animated speaker if you like (available only for Voice Reader Studio German and British).
Simply correct pronunciation
There will always be words that are not pronounced quite properly. Not a problem: With an easy to use pronunciation editor, even non-linguists can very easily set the pronunciation. The Editor has two entry possibilities: By using a simple coding in SAMPA (the Speech Assessment Methods Phonetic Alphabet) or by entering in text format, e.g. the pronunciation of "Beckenbauer" will be saved as "Bekenboua".
Flexible sound quality setting
Depending on the required application, you can set the sound quality that you actually require. After all, telephony has different requirements to a radio production. With Voice Reader Studio you can set sound qualities from 32 KBit/s to 160 KBit/s.
Easy dialog management
You want to generate a dialog with different voice profiles? With simple commands you can control dialogs with allocated speaker roles, adjust pronunciation and control pauses.
Create speaker profiles
To implement allocated speaker roles, simply create profiles with Voice Reader Studio. Save the combination of one-time set volume, speech speed, pitch and gender under the speaker name. Situation-dependent pronunciation changes, e.g. intentionally slower speaking or higher volume effectively emphasize the basic profile.
Import sound effects
Voice Reader Studio allows you to integrate sounds very easily. You can import an elegant applause, or replenish the spoken word with original sounds, as in a radio play. Simply enter the path of the sound file in Wav format (mono) into the text to be read out.
Practical shortcuts
Voice Reader Studio can also be operated using shortcuts. It is quick and practical and is a particular advantage for those who are blind or are visually impaired. Mr. P. Darras tested Voice Reader Studio and attests to its quality: "The program is easy to use for those of us who are blind." Listen for yourself and see just how creative he was when playing around with the program.
Reproduce generated MP3 files as much as you want
With Voice Reader Studio you have no boundaries - not for your creativity, and certainly not for your audience. Make your work available to as big a listenership as you want. Whether it be website content as MP3s, your breakthrough as an audiobook author or learning material for your students: generate once - reproduce x times! For more information, please read the license agreement.

Editor's Review
The Linguatec Voice Reader Studio does everything from reading emails, office documents and web pages, to being able to convert printed texts into audio books. It becomes your very own personal assistant who speaks to you and tries to help you out in every way. But the real difference between Linguatec Voice Reader Studio and other translation software products is its ability to add different voices, insert audio samples, create audio files for podcasting and manipulate the text-to-speech engine even further.
Its extras separate it from the competition, and this design gives the software credible representation in a professional context, rather than just at home. Whilst it uses the same text-to-speech audio technology as its translation software products, if you want to learn a foreign language at home, it is better to go with one of the Voice Reader Home options.
It's the quality of speech in Voice Reader Studio that is a real bonus for companies or institutions that wanted to provide audio versions of a large range of documents, for example as part of an e-learning guide or computer based training (CBT). It has very realistic voices that do not sound like robots speaking, even if the content retains a certain less than human quality.
The beauty in the system is the ability to easily mark-up the text and use effects such as alternate voices within a section of text. For example, you can make a question and answer section actually sound like two or more people talking, plus there is the possibility to add audio clips and music files, pauses, and new words and acronyms that are not in the standard dictionary, or you can even create exceptions and add different pronunciations if you don't like the way the software pronounces a particular word.
Linguatec Voice Reader Studio: What we liked
The text-to-speech quality is excellent, and the voices sound reasonably realistic rather than mechanised.
It is very fast. For example, if you want a podcast of a press release in MP3 or Wav format, Voice Reader Studio can produce the results in the time it takes to read the release.
It has a lot of extras that can help really dress up any business document or task.
It is a comprehensive program that can fulfil almost any audio related task.
Linguatec Voice Reader Studio: What we didn't like
It offers plenty of options for editing your sound files, but you have to move through various menus to find them.
Some of the extra editing elements such as background music and animated avatars that read along with the text are sometimes a distraction rather than useful.
Linguatec Voice Reader Studio Support
There is no phone support but if you have a specific query that cannot be resolved using the FAQs, you can email them using the relevant form in their online support site, which also provides FAQs.
