AMGuard introduces "Message Speak Out" functionality bundled with AMTalk - a pro application, which comes bundled with AMGuard enterprise accounts. Making your fleet's life easy, AMTalk reads out incoming messages loudly in the language preferred by the user, irrespective of the language in which the message was sent.
