Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2020108936A1] The invention relates to a method and a device for outputting an audible voice message in a lift system (1). The method has at least the following steps: transmitting the content of the voice message as a text file (35) to be output, via the Internet (23) to a web-based text-to-speech service provider (25); receiving an audio file (37) from the text-to-speech service provider (25) via the Internet (23), the audio file (37) having been created by the text-to-speech service provider (25) on the basis of the transmitted text file (35) to be output; and outputting the audio file (37) in the lift system (1) as the audible voice message. If necessary, the text file (35) to be output can be obtained by translating a source language text file (39) into a target language beforehand with the aid of a translation service provider (27). The targeted use of online service providers (25, 27) allows the outlay needed to realise voice announcements in a lift system (1) at different use locations with different languages to be greatly reduced.
