One of IVONA's most iconic voices is Eric, which was first introduced in 2002. Over the years, Eric has undergone significant changes, with updates and improvements that have kept him sounding fresh and natural.

The new Eric voice is more expressive and engaging than ever, with improved intonation, inflection, and rhythm. He is capable of conveying a wide range of emotions and attitudes, making him an ideal choice for applications that require a high degree of emotional intelligence.

In 2012, IVONA was acquired by Amazon, a move that marked a significant new chapter in the company's history. The acquisition provided IVONA with access to Amazon's vast resources and expertise, enabling the company to further accelerate its innovation and growth.
