[Voice Space Use Case Introduction] Nagano Prefectural Assembly Introduces Voice Space for In-House Announcements

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What challenges led you to consider implementing Voice Space?

A: We conduct in-house announcements when plenary sessions and committee meetings are held. During these times, the staff in charge were fully occupied with the broadcasting duties, which involved significant work hours for preparing the reading script in advance and waiting before the broadcast time. Furthermore, it was a challenge due to the considerable time and mental burden on the staff, as they had to broadcast at precise times, risking forgetting to broadcast due to concurrent work on other tasks, and facing pressure to avoid mispronunciations.

Q: When considering Voice Space, what were the deciding factors compared to other options?

A: The large selection of voice samples allowed us to choose a voice quality suitable for assembly broadcasts. Additionally, the ability to adjust intonation on a word-by-word basis, even for assembly broadcast content which often includes terms not used in daily life, and to broadcast with relatively accurate pronunciation, were the deciding factors.

Q: What did you find good or convenient about Voice Space after actually using it?

A: As mentioned earlier, the abundance of voice samples and the intonation adjustment were convenient.
We are using a voice model with a calm tone that suits assembly broadcasts.
