IC packaging partnership proves a success

The software is available for licensing both in the form of object code for MS Windows and as C source code.
SeeStorm's voice modification system enables digitised voices to be changed from high pitch to low, from female to male or child voices (or vice versa), from normal voice to a whisper, and also voice rate changing (accelerating/decelerating).
"The opportunity to modify voices in real-time, as well as prerecorded speech, provides a range of substantial benefits, allowing people to stay anonymous during communication, change their gender and age, fit the person type they prefer as well as to understand each other in a more efficient way by decelerating speech tempo or to "fast-forward" by accelerating the speech", says Andrew Sviridenko, CEO of SeeStorm.
"Having found a wide adoption in both worldwide and in-house products, the software has a wide range of target applications such as VoIP based applications, for people to change their voices while chatting, conferencing etc, could be perfect for private investigators, IVR phone systems and audio text bureaus, karaoke - to play voices/songs in a way you couldn't imagine, and many entertainment applications.
Generating differently sounding records in a matter of minutes provides sufficient cost saving to content creators, successfully excluding additional explicit costs on involved speaker persons.
An opportunity to change voice rate provides a range of benefits to education programs, allowing easier and more convenient material adoption".
