Navigation Software

hakromedia has also experience in the recording of voice output and concatenated audio recordings through many years of localization provided to telecommunication companies. Our core services in this area are:

• a network of native speakers and local recording capacities
• Competency in media localization combined with in-house audio processing and editing suites.

Localization Requirements for Voice Output

• Language Requirements

Translated sentence segments within a defined concatenation matrix must result in grammatically correct navigation instructions.

• Phonetic Requirements

All recorded voice output should sound as natural as possible, given the challenges of a concatenated navigation system.

• Software related Requirements

Successful adaptation of the XML control files it is necessary to fully understand the logic of interleaved XML structures.

• Technical Requirements

Some audio target formats require a very small resolution of 8kHz. This should already be taken into account when speakers and voices are selected. Only by applying a relevant and voice specific optimization method (EQ’ing) can 8kHz voice artifacts be suppressed so that a good sound and clear listening comprehension can be achieved.
