SDK, GDC, OMG and more fun with letters

Hi. I'm Leba Lualdi, the Product Development Manager at Green-Ear (after all, we can’t let Mike keep the blog fun all to himself). I just had to share with everyone how I’m bursting with excitement for all of the crazy wonderful Green-Ear goings on.

We have accomplished so much in the last few weeks it’s enough to make our heads spin. And it definitely did a couple times. Particularly exciting news is that our very own CEO, Mike Rojas, will be presenting at the Austin Texas Game Developers Conference. He will speak on the topic of Voice as a Service: Delivering Voice to Flash and Casual Gaming. We are very excited for the opportunity to share the latest breakthroughs in using voice communication in games. With the Green-Ear technology, developers will be poised to create new and exciting interactions in their games and no longer be limited to text communication or complicated integration. Come out and see us at the convention, we’d love to meet you!

Another thing I am beyond wild about is that I just had a sneak peak at some of our voice mutation/ voice font capability and I am blown away. It really exceeded my expectations. To have the ability to change your voice not only through text to speech but from speech to speech is honestly not anything I expected. Especially as a girl, to be able to play games online with a voice, especially a different voice, is huge. It was amazing, I know I’m gushing, but it really was! I couldn’t believe it! A guy sounded like a girl and then he had a monster voice! It was badass, really. So, definitely stay tuned for more about that voice mutation stuff, I think it’s going to really going to change the playing field, so to speak.

Lastly, we are shipping our beta SDK out and although it’s just the very first step in a great big staircase, it feels good to have it in the hands of others so we can continue to improve it and get some great feedback from some of the early adopters. Overall, it’s a very exciting time here and I’m glad to have the chance to share my excitement.

Cheers,

Leba
