Neo speach not working in Captivate 4

I have both Captivate 4 and Captivate 5 installed on my computer. Even though I downloaded and installed the neospeach voices for Captivate 4, I can't get them to work. When I try to convert a slide note to speech by clicking the convert button in the slide notes area, I get a message that it needs to be downloaded (again). Can anyone help me with this?

Hi there
As I recall, the version 4 speech was cumbersome and not intuitive. You were forced to download and install. You thought you were finished at that point but in reality you simply made the true installer available. You then had to run the true installer to get the voices installed. Then you had to restart Captivate.
Apologies if you have already done all those steps. If so, perhaps there is a bug in there. If not, maybe the reminder helps?
Cheers... Rick

Self-Paced Learning - Bookmark not working in Captivate 5

I followed the directions of adding a Table of Contents to one of my captivate projects and selecting Self-Paced Learning in order to create a bookmark but this does not work. I have saved it as Adobe Flash 9 and Adobe Flash 10 but I am not getting the message about starting where I left off when either refreshing the browser or exiting and going back in. What am I missing?
Thanks for your time,
Brenda

All slides in the presentation are marked as continue. I have gone
through the first 5 slides and when I refresh the browser or exit out of
Internet Explorer and open the project again it just starts at the
beginning.

Hello Brenda,
How did you check: after uploading to a LMS?
You have to be aware of the fact that a slide will be marked as 'viewed'
only when the playbar has played the whole slide till the end. If you do
pause slides with a click box, button, TEB and attach the action 'Go to
Next slide' or something similar instead of the default action 'Continue'
this will not happen and the slide will not be marked as completed.

VTML-Tags for text-to-speech do not work in Captivate 6 - are they working in Cap. 7 again?

I had a hart time to find out, that the functionality was "forgotten" to be programmed in the version 6.
Together with Neospeech I worked long to make single voices work in full functionality and it cost additional licence fee... unfortunately the voices sound tinny so I cannot really use them...and due to different time zones it is hard to find the error together with Neospeech
Now I see that Captivate 7 is available.
Is there already qualified info if the vtml tags work again like they did in older versions?
Adobe Support hotline was NO HELP at all, very unfriendly... only idea was, that I should get the test version and find out myself, pretty impertinent.

Hi
You might already know this, but stating it here to rule out the simple failure cases.
I have had a similar problem in the past using VTML tags inside Captivate. I used to type the slidenotes in my favorite editor and then copy paste the text from there to the slidenotes panel of Captivate. Turns out that my editor was using Unicode and hence the entire text pasted into Captivate slidenotes became unicode text, including the VTML markers. Though the pasted text "looked" fine the markers were messed up (for example, the double quotes around the value attributes looked like double quotes but they were actually multibyte unicode sequences) and this confused Neospeech. The output audio would be funny (for example it would read "Less Than...V...T...M...L...") or NeoSpeech will crash taking down Captivate along with it.
The fix was quite simple. I started typing the slide notes from within Captivate slide notes panel and everything worked fine after that. Alternately I could type in my favorite editor (after making sure that it is operating in Plain text mode) and then copy paste work flow also worked fine.
Another common mistake (at least, I do that often) is to select the speech agent from the drop down at the top of the dialog and forgetting to choose the speech agents for individual slide notes, which may still be referring to a non-neo-speech agent which does not understand the VTML tags.
No other software tool was required like the German Adobe Support team may have mentioned. I am using Captivate 7.

Click boxes and buttons not working in Captivate 3 published projects

I really, really, hope that someone can help me...
we are migrating from Centra/Saba LMS to Connect Pro LMS and while taking our "old" SCORM projects and posting them to the Connect Pro server we have encountered an issue...and the reason it's very hard to trouble shoot is that it's not all of the projects....??
Once a project is pulished none of the buttons or click boxes are working - for instance we use a play button on the frist slide for students to enter the course - you click it nothing happens (except when you mouse over the button it does change color)...same with the click boxes - I can use the progress bar to move froward but anything I click just doesn't respond...
Has anyone encountered this? and I hope know something we can do?
THANKS SO MUCH,
Jen

Do your published projects work outside of your LMS?
Or is it just inside the new LMS that it isn't working?
Usually buttons and click boxes not working is because your slides are pausing before the button becomes active.
What version of Captivate and Flash are you using?

Accessibility options not working in Captivate 7

I need help. I can't get my project to in captivate 7 to be accessible. I've tried testing on JAWs and for some odd reason it seems like the enable accessbility is not working cause everything is messed up when I test on JAWs. Is their anybody that would be willing to help me look at my file?

What, exactly, do you mean by "messed up"? There are certain things that do and do not work in JAWS, and you need to build to the limitations of the screen reader see this link for a list: Jaws and Cp 7.01.237 - not BFFs? Beyond that, there are workarounds, depending on what exactly is messed up. If you can detail the issues, maybe I can help you get on the right path.

Swf with external .as files not working in Captivate

Hello,
I am using Flash Professional CS5.5 & Captivate 5.5 (purchased with eLearning suite).
When I insert swf animations into Captivate that have external .as files they do not work.
Tried both insert animation & insert animation slide - same results.
I placed the .as files in the same file as my Captivate project and have tried multiple setting options.
The FPS are set to 30.
I had the same problem with external audio files and had to embed the audio into my fla to get it to play in Captivate.
Does Captivate just not allow external files?
Any help/insight is appreciated!!
Les-

The most likely reason for this failure is that since your SWF is now embedded into another SWF (the Captivate project) the paths to the AS files need to be altered in Flash to allow for this.
You need to investigate how this would be done in AS code if your Flash SWF was a symbol inside another Flash SWF.

Right-click feature not working in Captivate 4.0

Hello:
I am new to Captivate 4.0 and have a huge problem. I create software simulation training modules and publish them as .swf files. I then save them to a shared network folder where our web team links to them on our company Intranet site. The right-click feature is not working in any of the modules. I have changed my Preferences to remove the Enable Accessibility checkmark and publish to Flash Version 9. I understand that this is probably a Flash security setting problem. How do I make this work so that all 15,000 users at our company can view these modules and have the right-click feature work? Any help is greatly appreciated as I am getting very frustrated as I upgraded to 4.0 specifically for the right-click feature! I know very little about Flash and hope there is someone who can help me in simple "layman's" terms.

Hi there
Are you opening the Captivate by pointing only at the SWF? I ask because I believe the associated HTML file Captivate creates is involved. So if you are only opening via the SWF it would stand to reason the Right-click would fail.
If it's the Flash Security settings, you would be well advised to consider migrating the content from a network server to a Web Server. (company Intranet)

Flash Catalyst SWF file not working in Captivate 4

Hi,
I downloaded the trial version of Flash Catalyst to use in conjuction with Captivate (I don't know how to write code) so that I have scrolling text boxes in my project. Well, Flash Catalyst works as designed, but when I go to import the swf file into captivate, they don't play nice together. My project is in AS3, which is congruent with Flash Catalyst. Any ideas on what I'm doing wrong, or work arounds to get it to run would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks,
Tony

Hi Tony,
I got your file, thanks! I have not tried it inside Captivate because I was not on the same machine were Captivate is installed. However, if you tried to use, in Captivate, the main.swf file located in the deploy-to-web folder than you will have some issues. The file in that folder is very lightweight because it will download at run-time the flex framework. Therefore, if the framework is not in the same location as the main.swf when captivate runs, the animation will not show up properly. So, if you copy the other swf and swz in the same folder were Captivate publishes, then it should work.
However, there is an easier way to do this. You have another folder called run-local. This folder contains a bigger main.swf file. This file already contains all the framework part in it. So, if you try to use this file instead, it should work inside Captivate.
Give this a try and let me know if it works out.

DTS Neo PC Not Working!

Hi, I can't get DTS Neo Pc to work, i've tried the three console modes but it still don't work. it says it doesn't support the selected sampling rate (set to 24bit 48000 tried 6bit too)
i tried downloading the latest version of DTS connect pack from Creative but still the same.
I have the X-FI Titanium
using Dan-k Titanium installation disk
anyone else got this problem?
Edit: just installed the new console launcher beta and DTS connect has disappeared.

Uninstall old Creative apps as well as drivers. See page 19 in the user guide. Sort the programs and features list on "Publisher" to see all installed Creative apps. IIRC, the "What u Hear" slider, and associated balance sliders, control volume when the cinematic DDL or DTS encoder is selected but not when the PCM advanced feature is selected.

Exit button not working in Captivate 7 published output

Hi. I am using Capivate v7 and am experiecing this problem with published output:
I am using an Exit button that runs the standard javascript code
javascript:window.close()
so that the user can exit the presentation. The button works fine when I test out the presentation using Internet Explorer 8, but when I generate an output and try running the .swf file, the button does not work.
How do I get an Exit button to work for the .swf output?
Thanks,
- Michael Fekete

Yes, the close X does work 100% of the time. That's because the browser itself is just a window in the operating system. And you are commanding the window to close.
And you might find yourself asking why that would work while the Exit button fails. And it would be that it's a security issue. Security prevents the window from closing because if a web site was nefarious, it could actually trap you by making changes and quickly closing the window and preventing you from browsing elsewhere.
It's simple to turn off the Exit button. Just click Project > Skin Editor and clear the Close checkbox.
Cheers... Rick

Neo Speech not working

I have just installed Adobe Captivate 8 on my PC (64 bit) I also have installed the Neo Speech program. I can see all the 'characters' in the folder so I know they have downloaded and installed on my PC. However when I go to convert text to speech it states that I have not downloaded Neo-speech and I only have 'Anna' has an option. Is there something else that I can do

Reset your preferences and (if required) reinstall NeoSpeech. Check out point no. 8 on Rod's blog post on how to reset here:

Publish/Preview not working in Captivate 4

Hello,
One of the people on my team suddenly cannot preview or publish a Captivate project. She has been working on several projects and has not had an issue until recently. We have taken the project files to another computer and tried previewing and publishing them there, and we are able to preview and publish them without any problem. So it seems the problem is on her end.
We have tried re-booting the laptop and even re-installing Captivate, but she continues to have the issue.
We are running Captivate 4 on a Windows XP environment. We all have 4GB of RAM installed.
Thanks for any insight or help you can give.
Tim

We got the "Adobe Captivate could not open ".cp" because of permission error” message and were unable to open our file. We solved this by moving the file to a local drive and working on it from there.
Prior and subsequent to this, we were also unable to preview or publish our file. We solved the Preview problem by creating a new blank presentation and importing slides three by three. After each lot of imports we checked to ensure the presentation was able to be previewed.
Just when we thought we’d solved it, however, it then still failed to Publish!
(Along the way we’d also tried replacing the user profile, opening it on a different PC, turning off Auto Play and changing the Preloader and deleting all text captions.)
Finally we created a copy of our presentation, and starting from the end went through and deleted slides one by one, attempting to publish after each deletion. After deleting approximately 10 slides we isolated the corrupt culprit and were able to delete it from the original presentation and replace it.

Interactions not working in Captivate 7

I have purchased Captivate 7. There are supposed to be "interactions". When I go to ->Insert ->Interactions a blank popup window appears. When I start clicking around in that window a few interactions appear, but not he entire list. I need to access "web interaction" so as to import html into a Captivate project. If I click on any of the interactions and click "insert" I get popup saying "not a valid widget". I was told that these interactions are available "out of the box" for Captivate 7. Any ideas of how I can get this to work?

After you launch Captivate and create/open a project, please wait for sometime (maximum a couple of minutes) and then launch Interaction dialog.
If it still doesn't work then You may also try to recreate your preferences.Delete or rename the Captivate 7 folder from the location mentioned below.
Windows Vista and Windows 7: C:\Users\[user name]\AppData\Local\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7
Windows XP: C:\Documents and Settings\[user name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 7

K8N Neo Platinum not working

Hi guys,
I finally tired of my old PC and decided to go for a new AMD64+ system. I ordered these components:
A64 3000+
K8N Neo Platinum
2 x 512 MB Corsair XMS3200 2-3-3-6 RAM
I turn the finished PC on, the fans power on, the harddisks make noise and... nothing. The monitor doesn't recieve a signal. According to the DLED-bracket, it hangs on 'Resource Assignment' every time, just before the harddisks are started.
I have tried just about everything, even booting with only the videocard (both R9700 Pro and GeForce 3), still no dice.
I have tried running only one stick of RAM in the different slots, not a success.
I don't have any other CPU or RAM to test it with, so those options are out.
Another culprit is the PSU, but I have a new Mist (Factory modded Fortron / Source) 480 W PSU capable of 22 Amps at the 12V line, so that shouldn't be the problem. It works with good ratings in my old PC.
Any more ideas? It does look like I will be taking it back on Monday.

Stats are posted, but as I mentioned, even the barest possible setup with a RAM stick and videocard refuses to work. That's without keyboard, mouse and hard disk.
I'm not sure what I can add to that other than saying I can't even get into the BIOS since I get no video.
I forgot one thing: The PC speaker beeps once for about a second. Slightly longer than my old PC did, but not long enough for me to really think about it. Definitely nothing compared to the crescendo I got once when I forgot the extral power to the R9700

I have since RMAd the board and ordered (additionally) an ASUS K8N-E Deluxe which will be here Monday; I ordered Friday from NewEgg and a check of Fedex indicates that the ASUS package is already at the local dock. My sense from these forums is that the NEO has too many issues to ever satisfy me as an owner, including the ones I have personally experienced and the ones I have only read about. Thus, I'm trying the ASUS. If all goes well with the ASUS, I'll have an extra, brand-new in the box MSI K8N Neo.
See here for some descriptions of my MSI Neo "cold-boot" problem:
https://forum-en.msi.com/index.php?threa...htuser=0&page=1
You may find additional info by searching on my forum psuedonym.
As far as a fix, I just kept wrestling with it till it would finally boot (off/on, disconnecting / reconnecting leads, etc .... nothing ever consistantly did the trick) but I always manged sooner or later to get a boot. Pressing and holding the DEL key or quickly tapping the DEL key as the PC was powered-on seemed to have some connection with success, but only after many failures of the same thing. As I said, very inconsistant. A warm boot, once the PC was running, usually went fine, barring any other unrelated issues.
By the way, my D-Bracket error code always hung at one green LED, lower left in the 4 LED array, which I think indicates initialization of the keyboard controller. Whether this was the cause (keyboard controller) or it just happened to be the point in time where some other problem arose which prevented boot is hard to determine.
Damn, that's a bad experience. I haven't tried banging keys around, perhaps I should try that.
I had a chat with another guy who had a problem akin to this. In his case, the BIOS was borked. I'm really not sure if I'm going to ask for a new Neo board or go for the Gigabyte one instead if I can't fix it.
Funny how I never had any trouble with Via boards before while nForce3 is a general bad experience for me
