Adobe Captivate 7 TTS French Canadian MAN's VOICE

Hello ALL,
I'm desperated... I've been looking over forums and stuff, on the web, and tested a few things, for more than 2 days now…
I NEED HELP !
I NEED a TTS French Canadian MAN’s VOICE… working with Captivate 7 [Please notice that the Premium and Chloe voices, from the NeoSpeech pack for Captivate 7, are just very, very, very, fine… but they are women…]
I reapeat myself, but I really NEED A FRENCH MAN’S VOICE !!!! (and if the voice is not Canadian : any kind of French speaking man voices, I insist, will do.
It doesn't bother's me anymore… can be France, Swedish, Morocco, …)
I bought Capitivate 7 to save time and to use the Text-to-Speech functionalities trought the slide's annotations.
My concept is not working at all !!!!!! [construction field teaching]
I work on a Mac with Mountain Lion [OS X 10.8.3] and I’ve already installed before installing Captivate 7, in my operating system :
• Canadian French Voices, which are : Félix and Julie,
And
• France Voices wich are : Audrey, Sebastian, Thomas and Virginie.
And disable Zarvox and all those ****… wich is remaining in Captivate 7 ????
Of course, I tried to put <whatever tags> in, but this is not working anymore in Captivate 7…
The major problem, is that my operating system voices doesn't appear in Captivate 7. Why ?
How can I make them appear ? Or use them ?
Is there's any Adobe stuff, or a third-party, free or not, that I can use for my client’s needs ?
I’ve noticed that Loquendo doesn’t exist anymore … they used to have a lot of differents languages to use with Captivate [they used to have a FRENCH MAN spoken]…
PLEASE HELP ME !!!!
Mel

Thanks,
NeoSpeech seem to work on PC, not on a Mac.
Their Voice Cloud service only offers English voices.
In all the voices NeoSpeech offers, the only French voice, is Chloe.
Chloe is already installed with the language package for Captivate, and work´s well.
Still can’t find a French MAN spoking voice to integrate directly into Captivate…
Althought I found this (where there is two french man’s voices) : http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php
But, needs to be generated on the web, then needs to be dowlaoded, then need to be imported into the project, and then must be synchronised into the timeline...
Thanks again and have a nice day

Adobe Captivate TTS

Hello! Can a media file (ex: mp3) created using Adobe Captivate TTS be used in a commercial project if I use the trial version? Thanks.

Any projects created with the trial version of an Adobe project cannot be used in commercial projects. I would assume that the same applies for an mp3 file created with Captivate TTS as this is part of the Adobe Captivate application itself and therefore falls under the same licensing terms.

Adobe Captivate 6 Spanish text to speech

Hi we are using Adobe Captivate 6. We were wondering if there is an option to get text to speech in Spanish language. We are currently using NeoSpeech which provides German, French and English (couple of accents).
Are there any alternatives to this?

Adobe Captivate 5: TTS Voice Download

I just switched computers to a windows 7 computer. I am using Captivate 5 and want to add Paul and Kate's voice to the text-to-speech options. Currently I only have Anne as an option. How would I go about adding Paul and Kate's voice?

Hi Jamal,
When I installed, the voices installed. If you have a VT folder in the Adobe Captivate 5 folder? (I'm on XP so it may different for you). In that folder are the Kate and Paul voices.

Use TTS in Adobe Captivate 6 other than NeoSpeech

Hello,
I would like to test out some other TTS voices other than Neospeech - namely Acapela. Does anyone have experience incorporating the TTS with Captivate. I believe I download a SDK from the TTS provider and need to somehow incorporate this with Adobe Captivate. Sorry if I sound I don't know what I am talking about -- this is all new terrirtory for me.
Thank you !

Hi Vikram,
Thanks for the tip!

Adobe Captivate 5.5 and Neo Speech: issue to use Paul voice

Hello,
I have installed succesfully Adobe Captivate 5.5 and then Neo speech Add-on. But unfortunately, when using Speech management function, I can't find Paul and Kate voice. These voices are not proposed in the voice list while the installation has suceeded.
A Kate and Paul directories have been install under Adobe Captivate 5.5 but I don't know why these voices seems to be not installed.
My PC uses Windows XP, default language = french. Adobe Captivate has been installed in English.
Thanks for your support,
Odile

Hi,
First I have installed Adobe Captivate 5.5.
Then I have installed Neo spech.
I have restarted my PC, then launch Captivate: Paul and Kate voices are not present in Speech Manager. And I have no special error message, only voices missing.
After that I have installed Loquendo speechs.
Launch again Captivate and see that Loquendo voices are pesent in Speech Manager.
Now I will show you Neo Speech install report, installation done after an Captivate application stop:
The installation has succeeded in the good directory.
When installing Loquendo the report is not really the same, it seems that some additional execution are done:
Following other discussions on the forum, I have looked at my Windows Control Panel Voice and see that 3 voices are proposed. I assume that these are Windows voice. I didn't find Stefan, Simon, Kate or Paul voices and I'm not ablle to add or configure something.
If someone has an idea of the issue

Can I use Nuance Vocalizer as the TTS engine for Adobe Captivate?

I have licenses for Nuace Vocalizer and would like to use it as the TTS engine with Adobe Captivate. Is it possible and does anyone know how to configure it?

Hello,
You could integrate any 3rd party voices with captivate 7 as long as the voices are SAPI-compliant. But sound quality overall would be better if you create and import audio files directly from Text to speech engines like Neospeech's.
I would recomend you to create it using Nuance Vocalizer and then insert that audio in Captivate as .wav or .mp3 .
Thanks

Indian voice accent in Adobe Captivate 6.0 ?

We need to incorporate an Indian Voice accent in Adobe Captivate 6.0 training. We came across a few Indian voices (AT&T Natural Voices and Nuance Real Speak) - can any of these be directly used within Captivate? If not, are there any other which can be used directly? And if no external voice can be incorporated directly within Captivate, is there an external text to speech converter which we can use to export mp3 files and import them in Captivate slide by slide?
Any help is greatly apprecaited!

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Support.
You can use any external Text to Speech Converter from Neo Speech or Loquendo, once you have .mp3, you can import those file in Adobe Captivate 6.0
Thanks,

Hi all,
We are intending to purchase Loquendo Veena voice (Indian English). We are using Adobe Captivate 5.5.
After installing this Veena voice will it get automatically listed in the Audio --> Speech Management --> Speech Agent list?
Further, I did check the Loquendo site regarding Veena voice and there is no specific option to BUY or PURCHASE. How to do the purchase of this voice? Any idea?
Please suggest.
With thanks and regards,
Krishna

HI,
Please check this with Loquendo team (Now Nuance team - Loquendo is now aquired by Nuance).
You can email them at

Adobe Captivate 7: "Flip over" animation?

I'd like to include an animation that basically is circles that state "OBJECTIVES" and then having each circle "flip over" to show more text (the various objects of the video). Does Captivate have this type of animation/capability and I'm just missing it? Any suggestions? Thanks!

Is Captivate not compatible with IVONAs SAPI5 voices?

Hi!
I am using Captivate 6 and TTS to create training material. I've tried 5 voices from Neospeech but they all sound too much like a computer. I read that Captivate works with SAPI5-compatible voices so I bought a SAPI5-voice from IVONA (Amy).
I read about the issue that IVONA voices needs to be selected as default in Windows, but that was easily done. The voice sounds very well. My problem is that I can not control the pronounciation?
The pronounciation of Neospeech voices could be controlled using VTML-tags. Unfortunatelly there was no tag for emphasis so the control was quite limited.
I tried to use both VTML-tags and SAPI5-tags to control the pronounciation of IVONA-voice in Captivate but whatever I do, the voice reads all tags out loud, not following them. I even tried to add extra "." and "," to create a pause between sentences but nothing works.
To make sure the problem was not with the voice I tried SAPI-tags in the TTS-editor from IVONA and it worked well.
Any idea how to control pronounciation of IVONA voices in Captivate?
Best regards
/Jonas

Hi again!
Just an update. I contacted Adobe support and their answer was that third party voices can be used in Captivate but there is no way to control the pronounciation or adding pauses in Captivate. This is only possible for Neospeech voices where you may use VTML-tags. According to me that means that Captivate is NOT really compatible with 3rd party voices, SAPI5-complient or not.
The 5-6 included voices from Neospeech all sound too robotic and my client was amused rather than impressed when hearing them. I really wanted to use a quality voice and bought Amy from IVONA. I am very disappointed that it can't be used easily in Captivate. The work around is to record a sound-file for each page and import, which will take twice as long for each page and be harder to keep updated.
Best regards
Jonas
