TextSpeak NOTIFY!
TextSpeak NOTIFY! is a mass-notification system for sending alerts and voice announcements. It can deliver messages by SMS, phone call, email, desktop alert and high-definition audio announcement. Administrators can configure destinations such as TextSpeak device amplifiers, SMS recipients and phone calls. From the mobile app, users can type or select a message for real-time voice announcements on chosen TextSpeak hardware. The emergency screen includes a one-click message, and the main screen has four preprogrammed red message buttons. The system supports multiple locations and command centers; optional interfaces connect digital sensors, fire panels, panic buttons and wearable Bluetooth pendants. Its applications and amplifiers support nine concurrent text-to-speech languages and 25 voices, but do not translate between languages. Announcements can use Ethernet or LTE-M1 cellular, including during power loss, according to the maker. The maker says its online Wizard can set up e-Alert notifications in about 20 minutes. NOTIFY! runs on Android, iOS, macOS, web and Windows. Pricing starts at $3,999, and a 60-day trial is offered.
