Custom Branded Voices
Connect and engage across all your customer touchpoints with exclusive, humanlike branded voices
ContactIn a continuously changing digital world, brands have to reinvent themselves all the time. You introduced a mobile-first strategy, streamlined your social media presence, designed your chatbot conversations, and now consumers are starting to engage with your brand through voice. Thanks to automated speech recognition (ASR) and conversational AI, you’re expected to respond with a natural humanlike voice. However, consumers are not interacting with your brand alone. Thousands of brands are making their way to voice-enabled devices.
How does your brand distinguish itself and stand out in this crowded, complex, and fast changing environment?
ReadSpeaker has been building its expertise in humanlike text-to-speech solutions since 1999. We work with some of the world’s most successful companies, helping their voice shine. With ReadSpeaker’s exclusive custom voices, your brand’s unique voice sparks immediate recognition. And there are many more features that we know will interest you!
ReadSpeaker Custom Voice Features
A ReadSpeaker Custom Voice is always unique. It is carefully selected, designed, and engineered for your brand only. As soon as your voice speaks, consumers recognize, memorize, and associate emotions with your brand.
With ReadSpeaker Custom Voices, you are able to nurture an emotional connection between your customer and your brand that you’ve never been able to achieve before. Are you ready to learn more about how to apply your custom voice?
Indistinguishably humanlike
Thanks to our solid experience and determination we have been able to create high-quality voices in over 30 languages (with more coming soon) that are considered best-of-breed in the market.
Unique
Your ReadSpeaker Custom Voice is exclusively available to you. We work with you on your voice requirements, select voice characteristics, and create and test your voice until it’s ready to stand out from the crowd.
Tailored
You can easily change the pronunciation of any word or phrase in your ‘brand lexicon’. This ensures your brand name, your slogan, product names, and other jargon are pronounced exactly according to your brand (or sonic) guidelines.
Device agnostic
Whether you use your voice on a smart speaker, in a mobile app, on your website, in domestic appliances, or in retail outlets, your brand always speaks to consumers in the same familiar voice. It’s even available offline!
Expressive
You can add emotions in your voice for certain key expressions, such as your slogan. In the future, you will even be able to change emotions on the fly, depending on the context. This will allow you to respond according to a customer’s emotion.
Private
ReadSpeaker complies with strict European GDPR legislation. We do not store the voice audio streams generated or require access to your data. We believe private conversations are for customers’ ears and eyes only.
Scalable
Our architecture is designed to anticipate growing demand for voice services .
Accessibility-friendly
Your unique voice can also be applied in other ReadSpeaker solutions to improve the accessibility of websites and online content.
Instantly available
We commit to high service availability levels (your voice is always ready when it’s needed) and to fast ‘time-to-first audio’ (time needed to generate the audio stream), making sure your customers are served immediately whenever they want to contact you, ask a question, or complete a transaction.
Reliable

Benefits of ReadSpeaker Custom Voices
A ReadSpeaker Custom Voice brings a whole new dimension to your brand. Here’s how you benefit.
With the range of benefits available now, and more on their way as new features are launched, ReadSpeaker believes all brands will have their own custom voice in the future. It’s just a matter of time.
Reach
Connect with customers in locations where communication has traditionally been difficult. For example, during outdoor sports activities, or when visual concentration is key, like when driving a car. Or even in the shower, to add shampoo to their shopping basket.
Brand recognition
Custom voices make your brand instantly recognizable, especially when you make your unique voice available across all consumer touch points. Recognition is the basis for trust.
Optimize conversion
With a higher trust level, you’ll remove (unconscious) doubts on the customer side (brand identification or recognition) and this will have a positive effect on conversion.
Build your brand from within
Unlike celebrities or actors talking about your brand, your custom voice is the full 100% representation of your brand personality. Warm associations sparked by a branded voice will be in the heart of your customers’ neural association networks, improving likeability and preference.
Dynamic
As every sentence is generated on the fly, a digital voice fluently combines linguistic elements such as product names, specifications, quantities, prices, and time dynamically. You can even add other elements of your sonic branding, such as your audio logo.
Cost-efficient
Once your own digital voice has been generated, you no longer depend on the availability of a voice actor and on recording sessions. This prevents extra costs and delays, and gives you the flexibility you need to anticipate changes in the market.
Continuous dialogue
When customers switch from a visual device such as a laptop to a voice-only device such as a smart speaker, or vice versa, using the same voice (together with smart conversational AI) keeps the conversation with your brand going in a way that feels natural.
Voice enable your product
Whenever your customers are in the vicinity of your products, your voice can be there to inform or instruct (e.g. for product assembly : ‘Ok, …, how does this work?’).
Loyalty
Build a conversational routine with your brand into customers’ daily lives. Once they have decided to go with you instead of your competitor, continuous dialogue helps to deepen the relationship.
