Solutions

Fire station alerting solutions that are clear, concise, and consistent… with mission critical redundancy.

The voice that first responders hear is critical.  Locution’s architecture is built on the most understandable voice we could provide: a complete human voice rather than a syllable-based voice.  The clarity and consistency is remarkable.  Inflections are natural.  Pronunciations are localized to what is familiar to your first responders.

Locution designed for mission critical operation throughout.  Redundancy is built-in, not an afterthought.  There is no dependence on cloud availability to operate.  Your audio database and system configuration settings can be duplicated offsite for additional redundancy.

CUSTOMER SUCCESS

Results of using Locution Systems automated dispatching and alerting

A red truck driving along a city street, showcasing its vibrant color against the urban backdrop.

“Prior to Locution, there were times where trucks were dispatched to the wrong address. The issue was typically because the dispatcher’s voices were not clear and the responders misunderstood.

Since we’ve implemented Locution, there hasn’t been a single dispatch to the wrong location in 5 years.”

“The previous solution was ‘band-aided together.’ Locution solved all our pain points and shaved 40 seconds off average response.

You don’t have to listen to too many agencies with competitor’s systems to realize that Locution has an extreme advantage on audio quality.”

“We saw a 40 % reduction in the time it took between receiving the 911 call and beginning to process that and dispatching those fire trucks.

What was a new and cutting-edge thing is now part of our DNA.  Our Locution System pronounces street names the same (way)… and operates without missing a beat.  In a 911 environment, that’s so important.”
