Free Software Trial
We encourage customers to download Cepstral voices before purchasing activation keys. This ensures that the voice works properly with your telephony system. This is especially important as we have a strict no refund policy. Voices come fully functional, but you will hear a gentle reminder to activate your voice before any synthesis until you purchase the applicable activation keys from our online store.
Download Your Voice
You can find Cepstral voice installer download links on our downloads page.
How do I install Cepstral software?
Cepstral 5 and Cepstral 6 voices are NOT compatible, so you must uninstall ALL Cepstral 5 products before installing a Cepstral 6 voice.
Once that is complete, just run the Cepstral 6 installer file you downloaded and follow the instructions on the screen. We highly recommend the Typical installation. In this case, everything needed to successfully install your voice is handled automatically. Upon completion you will have a "Cepstral" program group in your Start menu, with a shortcut to SwiftTalker and Cepstral Tools inside.
