Microsoft
Microsoft seriously entered the field of text-to-speech with the recruitment of the speech scientist Dr. Xuedong Huang, one of developers of the SPHINX-II system, a successor of Carnegie Mellon's Harpy System[1]. With Huang at the wheel, Microsoft developed their Speech Application Programming Interface (API), for speech recognition and speech synthesis applications inside the Windows 2000 and Windows XP operating systems[2]. An early application from this line of development is Microsoft Sam, a male text-to-speech voice that was used by the Microsoft Narrator, a screen reading application that is meant as an accessibility feature for the visually impaired[3]. With later versions of Windows, Microsoft added more natural sounding voices with different accents to Narrator and their other services, but the Microsoft Speech API remains a key part in their development?
In the light of the introduction of voice assistants, Microsoft released Cortana.
