What Acapela Group is
Acapela Group creates synthetic voices that convert written content into speech for services, apps, and devices. Its customer interaction portfolio includes more than 250 voices in over 30 languages, with voice cloning, API access, and commercial use supported. Products can be deployed through cloud, sovereign cloud, on-premises, and embedded setups. Acapela Cloud provides a web interface for generating and editing AI voice prompts and organizing files by project. For developer integration, its Windows Server toolkit supports proprietary APIs, SAPI5, .NET, C/C++, Java, MRCP v2, and W3C SSML. Rule-based pronunciation and lexicon tools allow specific terms to be tuned across languages. Acapela identifies voice agents and interactive voice response systems as customer interaction uses. Its TTS voices for NVDA add voices to the screen reader used by blind and vision-impaired computer users. The product range spans Android, API, iOS, Linux, macOS, self-hosted, web, and Windows. Pricing includes a yearly subscription at €99 a year, billed excluding VAT, and a one-time license listed at €999 a month, also billed excluding VAT. Both include a three-month voice evaluation and basic support. Acapela is based in Mons, Belgium.
