TextSpeak Products Group

TTS-ENC Series of LED Sign ADA Announcement Upgrades

ADA compliance is enhanced with push button “press to listen.” When depressed, automatic audio announcements are generated from data displayed on transit signage. Listening for locator tones, the disabled can find and then depress a wall-mounted button to have all visual information spoken from a local speaker. TextSpeak offers signage companies and transit systems the industries’ only ADA and disability upgrades that can add human sounding speech to existing and new visual signage systems.

Xerox Corp.

Dynamic Voice for Ticket Vending Machines

Drawing experience in design and delivery of unattended sales devices, Xerox chose to use an AT&T Natural Voice for assisting individuals using Ticket Vending Machine (TVM) features. This approach uses text to audible speech customized to the actual transaction and information requested eliminating the need for stagnant confusing voice messages.
