Lesterhuis Training & Consultancy (LT&C)

ReadSpeaker’s text-to-speech provided the perfect solution, allowing LT&C to quickly and easily transform their written instructions into clear, professionally spoken content.

The Challenge

  1. Recognizing the diversity of learners and with a desire to provide content in a range of formats, LT&C began creating short instructional videos for their customers using Moodle. Delivering narration was proving time-consuming, and it was difficult to deliver a consistent and recognizable voice across videos.
  2. LT&C encountered various challenges with the Dutch language when exploring TTS solutions, including pronunciation and dialect variations.

The Solution

  1. Text to speech (TTS) provided the perfect solution, allowing LT&C to quickly and easily transform its written instructions into clear, professionally spoken content.
  2. SpeechMaker by ReadSpeaker stood out compared to other solutions because it effectively addresses these issues, making it an ideal choice for multilingual or non-English video content.

Why have you invested in text to speech?

As an organization focused on supporting those who use Moodle LMS, we recognize that learners engage with content in diverse ways.

To enhance our support offerings, we began creating short instructional videos. However, we found that rehearsing and delivering the narration was time-consuming, and we wanted a consistent and recognizable voice across our videos.

Text-to-speech technology provided the perfect solution, allowing us to quickly and easily transform our written instructions into clear, professionally spoken content.

 

Why did you choose ReadSpeaker?

We were already familiar with the technology that ReadSpeaker uses to support text-to-speech within Moodle LMS. As we explored AI-driven speech solutions for our videos, we encountered various challenges with the Dutch language, including pronunciation and dialect variations.

ReadSpeaker’s text-to-speech technology stood out because it effectively addressed these issues, making it an ideal choice for our video content.”

 

Have you seen any results?

We’ve received positive feedback, particularly regarding the consistency of language use in our videos. Educators and users have noted that the videos are easier to follow and understand, thanks to the clear and consistent speech provided by ReadSpeaker.

 

What was the integration like? Did you have any issues?

The integration of ReadSpeaker Speech was seamless. We encountered no issues, and the tool was straightforward to use. This ease of implementation has allowed us to focus on content creation rather than troubleshooting.

 

What has been the best thing about working with ReadSpeaker?

One of the best aspects of working with ReadSpeaker has been the excellent support we’ve received. This support has not only made it easier to use ReadSpeaker Speech but has also been invaluable in implementing ReadSpeaker within Moodle LMS.

 

Would you recommend ReadSpeaker to a colleague and why?

With other solutions, we consistently faced challenges finding a Dutch-speaking voice that didn’t have any unwanted English or other dialectal influences. With ReadSpeaker SpeechMaker, these issues were eliminated—it simply worked as needed, delivering clear and accurate Dutch speech.
