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

Captivate is not compatible with Windows Vista RTM
I can confirm that Captivate 2 is not compatible with Windows
Vista (RTM Final MSDN). I have been testing it on several systems
with various versions of Vista. It had partial success with RC2,
but with RTM it crashes quite frequently (when vista is drawing new
windows). I can't tell however if captivate is directly responsible
or if it is perhaps an incompatible version of Flash (current using
latest version 9 beta) that is to blame. However, since Vista is at
RTM then I would say that it is now the responsibility of Adobe to
fix the compatibility issues with a new update. Technically vista
is not due to domestic market until january 07, however businesses
will be able to purchase vista in only two weeks, and as Captivate
is generally used for business/training use i would certainly think
that it should be of high importance that these issues are
resolved.
Can anyone else comment on their experiences with Captivate
and Vista?Hi cptv8
I appreciate your taking the time to report back your
findings about Vista. Perhaps it will be helpful to those that are
early adopters.
You stated:

You have a valid point. However, you are making it in the
wrong venue. How? Well, Adobe doesn't normally make it a habit of
visiting the peer-to-peer support forums. This means users
supporting users. If you are concerned that Adobe is aware of this
issue, you should really consider using a different channel. The
Wish Form. And you can easily get there by simply
clicking
here.
Now I don't claim to be a guru of anything in particular, but
it seems to me that businesses are very slow to adopt things. They
tend to take a very pragmatic and slow approach. Many are just now
making the leap to XP! So I'm guessing that Vista will be slow to
gain ground. I'm also confident that the Captivate team is well
aware of the Vista issues and will be addressing them as best they
can.

Current Android 2.1 OS Not Compatible with Bluetooth Voice Activation
After spending two frustrating days trying to make Bluetooth Voice Activation work with the HTC Incredible Android, I found out from HTC technical support that the Android 2.1 OS is not compatible with Bluetooth Voice Activation. Supposedly changes to the operating system will correct the problem, but you're out of luck until then.....whenever 'then' is! It appears that Verizon and HTC have not choosen to include that information in their marketing material. A bit irresponsible, especially if you live in a state that requires handsfree operation of your phone in an automobile.
It seems that Moto has a workaround in 2.1 on the Droid X:
I was just at VZW store this morning looking at the Droid X (which is currently at 2.1), and specifically asked an employee about this and he showed that it's solved on the Droid X -- he paired his bluetooth and demo'd handsfree dialing it for me.
Unfortunately, the Droid X is probably too large for me or my wife and the Droid Incredible doesn't have a solution for bluetooth handsfree dialing (yet). -
Samsung Note 3 not compatible with Share Name ID
I recently bought a Note 3 and today was trying to change the Share Name ID but it states that it's not compatible with my device. Has anyone else experienced this?

Congrats on your new Note 3 BeeJaeG! Was the feature added to your account for a previous device? Please accept my follow request, follow me and send me a direct message with your mobile number and account verification. Thank you.

Adobe is not Compatible with Vista? or not compatible with 64bit Vista?
From reading through some of the threads here, I am still a
bit confused. Is Captivate 4 not compatible with Windows Vista at
all? Or just not supposedly compatible with 64bit Vista?
Has anyone tried to do a software simulation recording of the
start button, or start menu, or any control panel windows? It
doesn't register a click at all! It will not record a frame!
This is rediculous Adobe. You had, what... 2 years almost? to
develop Captivate 4? And you can't even make it Vista compaitble?
I suppose you'll drop Captivate 5 in 6 months and make
everyone pay $400 for an upgrade just so they can record anything
in Vista? This had better be a high priority update. As it stands
right now, I have to do full motion recording. If I want to do
that, I will use Camtasia!!!
Please give me an answer or a workaround.... Someone..
Anyone.
I am using 64bit and it works fine if recording within an IE
window. All editing, recording, etc functions work fine. I have
tried to do this on a 32 bit version as well with no luck
(recording start menu / button/ control panel windows/etc)
Thank you.> The problem somehow lies in the system windows. I always
run captivate "as
> administrator". As soon as a system window is up (IE -
"control panel"
> "display
> properties" "computer properties" etc) it will fail to
record a capture
> upon
> mouse click. Same with the start menu and taskbar.

> Test for yourself. This used to work in WIndows XP..
What changed??

Captivate 3 and 4 work fine on 32-bit Vista. Neither is fully
compatible
with 64-bit Vista, so far as I know, but you should be able
to get results
by running in 32-bit compatibility mode.

At no point did it say that it was not compatible with the version of OS X that I am running (10.4.11) now that it is installed it will not open but it has already up graded from 3.6 so I have lost the lot. How can I download a version of 3.6 so that I can use it again or should I just pack up and use Safari as all I can get from your site is version 4. HELP!!!

iPod 4,1 will not update to iOS 7. I updated my iMac to 10.9.1 (maverick). Latest Numbers version on iMac is not compatible with Numbers on iPod. Ideas? Can I go back a version with Numbers? I downloaded old version of Numbers 2.0.1 from DVD but with both versions the 2.0.1 will not open. So both versions are present but only the new version functions. I tried to drag the new version to the trash but the old version still runs error message and will not open. I did not try to restart with the new version in the trash.
Maybe. See:

I'm trying to silently upgrade my environment to FF 7. I've gotten the silent install working great, it puts in my Proxy Server info, reassigns the home page and all that. But, the last version we pushed out was FF 3.5. If a user had that on their PC and they run the FF7 install, they get weird messages when clicking on the icon.

This is on Windows XPDo you have other virtualization or security software that might protect .ini and possibly other files in the Firefox program folder (C:\Program Files\Mozilla Firefox\) and prevent Firefox from updating them properly?
You need to do a clean reinstall.
Download a fresh Firefox copy and save the file to the desktop.
* Firefox 7.0.x: http://www.mozilla.com/en-US/firefox/all.html
* Uninstall your current Firefox version.
* Do not remove personal data when you uninstall the current version or you lose your bookmarks and other data in the profile folder.
Remove the Firefox program folder before installing that newly downloaded copy of the Firefox installer.
* It is important to delete the Firefox program folder to remove all the files and make sure that there are no problems with files that were leftover after uninstalling.
Your bookmarks and other profile data are stored elsewhere in the Firefox Profile Folder and won't be affected by a reinstall, but make sure that you do not select to remove personal data if you uninstall Firefox.

I want to add another management server to our existing SCOM environment. But whenever I run this setup on a new server I get stuck in the window for selecting the OperationsManager database. The database field stays blank and in the OpsMgrSetupWizard log
there are lines that the setup version is not compatible with the database version. But I use the same installer as when I installed the other management servers a year ago.
Maybe there is a newer setup installer? But I can't find it.

This is what I think may have happened. The other day, Thursday Sept 8th, I shut down my pc in the middle of a Firefox upgrade. Now when I try to access Firefox on my pc, I get this error message:
XULRUNNER Error: Platform version '6.0.2 is not compatible with min Version >= 6.0.1 max Version < 6.0.1
What is this about and how can I retsore access to Firefox on my pc?If you use ZoneAlarm Extreme Security then try to disable Virtualization.
Do a clean reinstall and delete the Firefox program folder.
