IPCC 8.0: Using Unity Text to Speech functionality

I wonder if you can use the Text to Speech functionality native to Unity to read a txt file containing string from a script IPCC.
The IPCC native TTS only read certain variables but can not read variables String.
Thanks

I'm not going to say it's not possible, I'm sure with lots of time, resources, and duct tape you could come up with something. However, Unity is not really a peripheral (IVR, PBX, etc) so you're not going to be able to easily utilize it's funcationality within UCCE.

When using the text to speech which vtml_speed value is the best?

When using the text to speech function along with the VTML tag for speech (<vtml_speed>) what number provides the best rate for learning. I am currently trying to use this function to improve my computor generated speech for a project. I have been getting complaints that it is too slow, yet the default setting is too fast. Any advice out there?

Hopefully nothing serious. Try a Safe Mode boot ...
A Safe Mode boot takes a longer than a normal boot so be patient.
Once you are in Safe Mode, click Restart from the Apple () menu.

An error message pops up when using text to speech function in trial version

An unable to decode and import the selected wav/mp3 message
pops up when trying to use the text to speech function with the
trial version. It will let me select the voice but will not apply
the changes or convert.
Any suggestions??

Hi there
I've noticed more than few posts about this since Captivate 4
was released.
Are you by chance using Windows Vista 64 bit? Seems most that
have reported this issue have been using that version.
Please report it to Adobe as a bug.

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro. Results were reproduced. The verdict is:
- complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
- different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
- using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
- adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
- just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
- generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality. It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet. But unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

Captivate 4 text to speech function

I just downloaded the trial version for Captivate 4. I
specifically wanted to see the new text to speech function that
they have added to it. When I downloaded it and tried to use it, I
received an error message that stated "Unable to decode and import
the selected wav/mp3 file". Is anyone familiar with this?

This did work and my Captivate is working great!
Thank you!

HT1338 text-to-speech function on 10.8.2 hotkeys rarely work for me

I love the text-to-speech function with the clearer voices. BUT... it's inconsistent!
Sometimes the hotkeys work, sometimes they don't. And the dysfunction seems to be increasing in frequency and duration.
I have tried setting all different combinations of hotkey combos to make it work.
I gave uninstalled doublecommand just in case = no change.
I have a MacBook Air with OS X 10.8.2
* A weird detail: If I start the text-to-speech successfully with the mouse, the HOTKEYS ALWAYS work to STOP the speech. But rarely work to start it.....
Yes I can use the mouse menu but that takes too long and sometimes that is not even available in MS Word.
It's such an awesome feature but so flakey on reliability.
Any suggestions on ironing this out?

Hello Creative Smith,
After $20 for Apple Support and a total of ~ 3 hours working with them, we found a solution.
Here it is:
WARNING: Make sure you type or better yet copy and past the command line within the Terminal for Step 1 EXACTLY as it is. No typos. Apple Support told me if you don't, you could screw some things up.
STEP 1:
In Terminal type:
sudo sample SpeechSynthesisServer -file ~/Desktop/sample.txt
Step 2:
In Monitor Force Quit SpeechsynthesisServer
Step 3:
In Finder, go to the folder
/System/Library/Frameworks/ApplicationServices.framework/Versions/A/Frameworks/S peechSynthesis.framework/Versions
Step 4:
Drag SpeechSynthesisServer.app to dock
Step 5
run SpeechSynthesisServer.app
Test it out. That should fix it. It did for me.
I really hope this helps you. It's been driving me crazy!

Use of text element in function module

hi friends what is the use of text element i.e list headings, selection texts,text symbols in a function module. where a can see these things after giving some text into it and activated.
                                    kumar.

hi
<b>Text Symbols</b>
A text symbol is a named data object that is generated when you start the program from the texts in the text pool of the ABAP program. It always has the data type c. Its field length is that of the text in the text pool.
Text symbols, along with the program title, list headings, and selection texts, belong to the text elements of a program. Text elements allow you to create language-independent programs. Any text that the program sends to the screen can be stored as a text element in a text pool. Different text pools can be created for different languages. When a text element is changed or translated, there is no need to change the actual program code. Text elements in an ABAP program are stored in the ABAP Editor (see Text Element Maintenance).
In the text pool, each text symbol is identified by a three-character ID. Text symbols have a content, an occupied length, and a maximum length.
Examples for text symbols in an ABAP program:
ID
Contents
Occupied length
Maximum length
010
Text symbol 010
15
132
030
Text symbol 030
15
100
AAA
Text symbol AAA
15
15
In the program, you can address text symbols using the following form:
text-###
This data object contains the text of the text symbol with ID ### in the logon language of the user. Its field length is the same as the maximum length of the text symbol. Unfilled characters are filled up with spaces. You can address text symbols anywhere in a program where it is also possible to address a variable.
If there is no text symbol ### in the text pool for the logon language, the name text-### addresses the predefined data object space instead.
You can also address text symbols as follows:
... 'textliteral'(###) ...
If the text symbol ### exists in the text pool for the logon language, this is the same as using text-###. Otherwise, the literal 'textliteral' is used as the contents of the text symbol. This is only possible at positions in the program where a variable can occur. You can create a text symbol for any text literal by double-clicking the literal in the ABAP Editor and replacing the literal with the text symbol.
You should use text symbols in your program whenever they need to be language-specific - for example, in a WRITEstatement.
If you program a list whose layout depends on field lengths, you should be careful, since the field length of text symbols will be different in different languages. You should therefore set the maximum field length of the field symbol so that there is enough space to translate it into other languages. For example, the English word 'program' has seven letters, but its equivalent German translation 'Programm' has eight.
The following example shows the use of text symbols in WRITE statements.
SET BLANK LINES ON.
WRITE:   text-010,
       / text-aaa,
       / text-020,
       / 'Default Text 030'(030),
       / 'Default Text 040'(040).
If the text symbols of the above screen shots are linked to this program, the output looks as follows:
Text symbols 020 and 040 have no text symbols. For text symbol 020, the system displays a space. This is only displayed in this case because the blank line suppression has been turned off (see Creating Blank Lines).

Using TTS (Text to speech) What characters are illegal?

I'm using TTS to generate lots of audio files from text documents. TTS hangs up from time to time on different characters. Is there a list of illegal characters that I can try to avoid? The text is already written so I'll need to make some sort of batch process to strip and/or replace illegal characters. Here's an example of what Im typing in the terminal: say -o ~/Desktop/TTS/AudioFile.aiff This is the text to be read in the audio file.
Maybe I'm just looking for characters that are illegal in the terminal?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Yeah, excel might be putting escape codes or such in there, maybe een a printer driver & fonts if I know MS.
I don't know about excel, but from NeoOffice I can save as an .xls file as txt/csv.
I looked a an xls file in HexEdit & there is far more junk than text in it.

Text-to-speech: emphasise words such as field names

Hi all, I've just started using the text to speech function for the first time and would like to know whether there is any way to empahise particular words in the sentence. My training is about software and when I refer to field names etc they are pronounced as part of the sentence and sound quite strange. I've tried using various prices of punctuation but can't find anything that sounds natural. The sentence that I'm having particular trouble with is telling the user that "if you are not... you have the option to select None" where "None" is one of a set or radio buttons. In text it's fine as I can make it bold but in the audio it sounds odd.
Any suggestions would be much appreciated, there is a lot of info online about this stuff which has been awesome but can't find an answer to this particular question.
Cheers
Niamh

I would accumulate word frequency in a Map<String, Integer> -- is that what you are doing? But before processing a word I would check to see if it is contained in a Set<String> of common words. In which case further processing of the word is not required.

With iOs 7 and the iPhone can someone use the phone while also using a communication app such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These are text to speech systems for people who cannot speak well. Thanks you!

With ios 7 and the iPhone can someone use their phone while also using a text to speech app, such as Speak It or Assistive Chat? These apps are used by people who have difficulty with speech production.
Thank you.

My iPhone 5 wouldn't start after I turned it off a few minutes after writing this. It went into recovery mode and I had no choice but to connect to iTunes on PC and restore.
I restored to factory setting first, just to validate my phone was okay. For a second consecutive iOS update, the iPhone 5 did not update smoothly while connected to PC and iTunes - I had to retry two times before the progress bar for the update showed. (The exact same problem with the restart occured when I updated to 7.0.4.)
The good news is that I was ultimately able to restore the iPhone 5 to factory settings while running iOS 7.0.6. I did have a backup from about a month ago lying around and was able to successfully restore with that as well, so the damage done is almost negligible since I had my contacts, notes, mail, etc. backed up to iCloud.
Once I completed both restores, the sync with iTunes worked fine.

Text-to-speech no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.5.

Text-to-speech is no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.4/5. Does anyone know the software component that passes highlight text over to the speech synthesiser? How is this process different in PDF's compared to any other text format?
So far I have tried Preview, Skim, PDFView, Safari, Evernote and Adobe Reader with the result: silence. The only defference being Adobe Reader which speaks the name of the document and not the highlighted text. I've re-applied the Mac OS10.8.5 como-update, fixed prefs, ran FSCheck and changed user. I've tried every method of triggering the text-to-speech function (including custom scripts). Text-to-speech works perfectly in every other respect exept when working with PDF's. When Maveriks arrives I will do a clean install and rebuild my data manually which I'm pretty certain will fix the problem but it would be extremely rewarding to find an actual solution and learn something in the process.

Rawr! I got it to work, sort of. I think I tried so hard because I hated the thought of using alsa-oss. And I discovered a couple bugs in spd-conf! Does anyone care? lol
Basically, I redid my TTS-related configs & put them under ~/ instead of /usr/share, and ran "festival --server" & "speech-dispatcher -s" as a normal user. I also added myself to the "audio" group somewhere along the line, but I don't think that was the issue.
I'm almost afraid to reboot, because, although speech-dispatcher can be started at boot-time through rc.conf's DAEMONS array, I don't think festival can---at least, not in the same way as it can on distros that have the script /etc/default/festival. I'm about to see if I can track down that file, and hope I don't break everything somehow.
KTTSMgr still doesn't see any synthesizers, but I got past the "dummy module" message. Now I'm hoping I'll get some help from someone who actually knows what to do (as opposed to me).
Take care, all
H
P.S One small complaint: Although my speechd.conf specified port 6561, speech-dispatcher's tests showed that it was looking for a connection on port 6560 first, before scanning to find the real port. I had to change to port 6560 to stop the behaviour, even though I never customized the port number in the first place.

Labview 5.1 text to speech

Hello!
I would like to know the minimum version of Labview to use "text to speech" function, if there is one?
The lowest I've found is an example for Labview 6.1 to use with Microsoft SDK 5.1.
I have access to Labview 5.1 at the moment and I wonder if I have to upgrade to a higher version? If so, which version at least?
If anyone have example code for "text to speech" function it would be great if you could share it!
Thanks!

the LV 6.1 example is just calling windows dlls. This VI could be written in any version of LabVIEW. I don't think that it is using anything labview specific that would prevent it from running in LV 5.1
The olny way to convert down is to do a save for previous from LV 6.1, into LV 6.0, and then from 6.0 to 5.1. I know that this seems like a pain, but it is the only way to save it down to your version.
If you haven't seen a new version of LV since 5.1, this might be a great reason to buy LV 8.0. The cost of the new version is less than the amount of time you'll spend finding the old versions, and saving all those VIs for a previous version.
Let me know if you have any questions.

Special characters like hyphens cause problems in Text to Speech on Mac

The Text to Speech function with the shortcut [option+esc] has helped me a lot. But, the only problem is that when there is a hyphen in the paragraph selected it doesn't even start reading the paragraph.
This problem occurs when reading pdf files from the chrome using TTS.

I thought that perhaps that I might be able to do something like make the iPod screen have a white text on black mode (like in the Mac OS X accessability mode), would this be possible?
Can anyone else think of anything when using an iPod to help vision impaired people to use an iPod?
Cheers,
Nicholas

Need advice about text to speech

It doesn't appear that the built in text to speech functionality will do what I need it to. The voice I need for a project is the popular Steven Hawking voice. I need to to be able to speak back a script that I've written and be able to record it in some sort of audio format that I can use on the internet.
Does anybody have any advice?
Thanks.

Really? I don't have Snow Leopard yet, but under Leopard both Fred and Bruce (well more Fred) sound a lot like what I remember Steven Hawking sounds like. Maybe slow it down one tick below "normal."
Have they removed those voices from SL?
As for recording I think you could use SoundFlower and Audacity. Both are free -- not sure if either have been updated for SL yet....
