Acapela Group

Acapela Group, a subsidiary of Tobii Dynavox, stands as a premier provider of AI-driven voice solutions, specializing in Neural Text-to-Speech (TTS) technology. By 2026, its architecture has fully transitioned to Deep Neural Network (DNN) synthesis, delivering high-fidelity, expressive voices that mimic human prosody with extreme precision. The technical framework is optimized for both cloud-based RESTful API consumption and low-footprint edge deployments (Colibri), catering to the automotive, transport, and healthcare sectors. Acapela differentiates itself through 'My-Own-Voice', a market-leading voice banking service that allows users to preserve their vocal identity before speech loss. Positioned as a high-security, GDPR-compliant European alternative to US-based tech giants, Acapela provides extensive customization via its V-Mod toolkit, enabling fine-grained control over pitch, timbre, and emotional inflection. Their 2026 market position is defined by ultra-low latency streaming for conversational AI and a robust library of over 120 voices across 30+ languages, including specialized children's voices and regional dialects often overlooked by larger competitors.
