Microsoft announced Wednesday that it plans to use text-to-speech technology from ScanSoft in its server application product lines.
The expanded deal covers the full portfolio of ScanSoft products, as well as access to the company's services unit and Virtuoso custom voice program, the companies said.
ScanSoft's text-to-speech software will be featured in a range of Microsoft server products, beginning with Speech Server 2004. Text-to-speech software is designed to convert written text into spoken words.
Financial terms of the agreement were not disclosed.
