Grid 3 speaks Scottish! On iPad too!

Posted by Paul Nisbet on the 24th August, 2018

We are very pleased that Scottish computer voices from CereProc are now available free of charge for Grid 3 and Grid for iPad! It's particularly positive news for guys (loons?), because a male Scottish voice was not available for symbol-based AAC apps until now.

Grid 3 for Windows and Grid for iPad now offer a selection of free voices from CereProc, Acapela and Nuance.

Fiona, the Scottish female voice from Nuance, is also available. She sounds a bit younger than Kirsty. To my ears, though, CereProc's Heather still sounds the best, so we'll speak to our friends in SmartBox and CereProc and ask them if she can be included in the free voices.

Who knows, we may even get our Glaswegian friend Dodo to be available, for weegies...

For folks south of the border, you now have the option of these new CereProc voices as well:

Of course, Scottish AAC users could previously (and still can) download Stuart, Heather and the Ceitidh Gaelic voice from CALL's Scottish Voice web site, and install them to work with Grid 3, but it's a lot more convenient to have them available from within the program itself.

What about Scottish child voices, like Harry and Rosie, I hear you ask? Watch this space...
