A growing need for clarity in marine alerts
Traditional audible alarms, although crucial to crew safety, suffer from a major problem: they are often generic, and fail to identify the precise nature of the alert. In an environment where navigation systems generate a multitude of data, it becomes essential to provide a more explicit and intuitive solution.
Some alternatives, such as NMEA 2000 modules or navigation software, already offer solutions for triggering specific audible alerts depending on the state of the vessel. However, they remain limited in their ability to provide detailed information. With this in mind, Pixel sur Mer has developed Exocet Voice, a solution that automatically converts text alerts into clear, comprehensible voice messages.
Exocet Voice: an innovative and intuitive response
Exocet Voice is an additional technological brick in the Exocet ecosystem. It uses advanced voice synthesis, based on artificial intelligence, to transform alerts into spoken messages in real time. This enables crews to immediately understand the nature of the problem without having to analyze complex sound signals or consult a screen.
Thanks to its text-to-speech (TTS) system, Exocet Voice generates a natural, dynamic voice, guaranteeing smooth, intelligible transmission of alerts. This technology supports multiple languages (French and English) and offers male and female voices to suit user preferences.
Key features for optimized safety
Exocet Voice integrates several key features:
- Real-time voice synthesis: conversion of alerts into spoken messages with low latency.
- Message queuing: management of multiple alerts simultaneously, with the option of prioritizing or repeating certain messages.
- Multilingualism: English and French language support, offering flexibility to international crews.
- Compatibility with the Exocet ecosystem: works in synergy with Exocet Exos and Exocet Safety, and will be extended to other devices in the range by mid-2025.
With these capabilities, Exocet Voice enables greater responsiveness and faster decision-making in critical situations.
Simple deployment and seamless integration
The installation of Exocet Voice has been designed to be simple and intuitive. It connects directly to Exocet systems, enabling rapid start-up and easy configuration via a dedicated web interface. Once installed, it ensures clear and precise communication between the navigation system and the crew.
By integrating this technology, Pixel sur Mer reinforces its commitment to improving maritime safety while offering tools at the cutting edge of innovation. Exocet Voice is a major breakthrough that redefines the way crews interact with their onboard systems, making navigation safer, more intuitive and more efficient.
