Neospeech in captivate 7

I am trying to download neospeech voices for captivate 7, using the 'click here to download neospeech voices' available under the Speech Management tab. It downloads the zip file but when I click on setup.exe, it gives an error saying that the installation could not be done due to some file that is missing. I have tried this several times, but I am repeatedly getting the same response. Pl advise.

Hello,
Please unzip all the contents of that .zip file to a folder and then try to run the setup again.
If it happens again, then :
1) Close all the Adobe Programs and installer window.
2) Go to this location : C:\Program Files\Common Files\Adobe folder
3) Rename "OOBE" folder to "1234"
4) Run the setup again.
Note : If you have 64bit OS, then location will be C:\Program Files (x86)\Common Files\Adobe
Thanks,
Vikram

NeoSpeech with Captivate 6

After successfully installing NeoSpeech for Captivate 6.0.0.199 to add additional text-to-speech voices, I am not seeing the Speech Agent options populated with the new NeoSpeech voices in Captivate.
I downloaded the NeoSpeech package with the following link provided in Captivate: http://www.adobe.com/go/captivate6_voices_installer
I am running captivate on windows 7, 64bit.
Please advise.

Hello ,
Thanks for sharing the update , You mentioned in the above post that you downloaded voices for Captivate 6.0.0.199 .

Installing Neospeech in Captivate 5.5

I continue to get an error saying that I haven't installed Neospeech or Loquendo, even after downloading both from the Adobe site. The osftware appears to be from Macromedia, which is now owned by Adobe. So what is the problem, that it does not show up in Captivate 5.5?

Hello,
Welcome to Adobe Forums.
Do you have Windows or MAC ?
Could you upload a screenshot of that Error Message ?
Also do you see "VT" & "Loquendo" on Captivate 5.5 installation folder ?
Windows : C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 5.5
MAC : \Applications\Adobe Captivate 5.5

Captivate 8 Speech Management Guide

Hello,
I am very new to Captivate and using is 1st time.
I have just completed my first presentation of 15 minutes on captivate 8 and it took me around 1 month
Got many queries in between, solved many myself, but still have few.
Please guide me if possible.
SPEECH MANAGEMENT
===================
I tried to Record my voice and stuck with many problems. First was a good microphone. Atlast I purchased Sennheiser Headset with Mic.
Recording ok, but still many problems like background sounds toooo much in my locality. used cleaner but still not comfortable. Then my personal problem since my voice is not that much clear.
I found speech management Text-To-Speech and downloaded neospeech for captivate 8. Installed and completed my first project.
I am using Paul and James voice. Also I have downloaded Ivona's Raveena (Indian Voice), Amy (British Voice) and Sally (American Voice).
Combination is wonderful. But i get problem.
Paul and James speak very fast whereas Amy speak very slow.
I wanted to change the settings but don't know how to change. I opened Windows Text-to-speech settings and found Ivona voices there but Neospeech voices is not there. I think they are made only for captivate.
I searched installation directory of Neo Speech and opened their VTeditor_Eng [ C:\Program Files\Adobe Captivate Voices 8\VT\James\M16\bin ]. Found settings there which include change of pitch, volume, speed, etc. but these changes doesn't effect in captivate.
Last thing, anyone has any idea about good TTS Indian Voice. Since I live in India, am looking for Indian Pronounciation.
Any help / suggestions will be highly appreciated.
Thanks
Prof Merchant

Thanks Sreekanth
VTML tags work but only in Neo Voices. Problem is now they provide pause between sentences. if i want entire sentence to be read slow than it's difficult. For eg. a small sentence is read by Paul or James of Neo Voices in say around 20 seconds. The same sentence is read by Ivona's Amy/Raveena/Sally in around 26-30 seconds. Also microsoft voices like Heera/hazel can read the same sentence in around 25-27 seconds.
I like the voice of Paul and James but they read it so fast that even I find it difficult to catch them. Then how can my students will catch it???
Unfortunately, in Microsoft I got all female voices. I am thinking of trying on Ivona's some more voices.
I am trying to get IIT-M Indian voices. But presently I am unable to contact persons.
Any further suggestions you can give me. You can contact me directly on [email protected]
Thanks

Neospeech only generates 1 sec audio in Captivate 6? Error

I am new to Text to Speech in Captivate but am dabbling. I have installed the NeoSpeech content and have selected Paul as the voice I want to use. I generate audio and then preview it and it only creates 1 second worth of audio. If I change the voice to one of the standard none Neospeech voices then Captivate generates the full audio and it lasts 36 seconds. However switching back to a Neospeech voice does the same. I tried Bridget and got the same problem. It seems to only create 1 second of audio and the process of creating audio is much faster as if it is just not going through the full body of text. Can anyone shed any light on where I am going wrong or if somethings needs fixing what that might be?
Any help is greatly appreciated.
regards,
Jay

Not really that strange...this has been a problem for a long time (years). I always make sure I type out the two words to avoid the error.
Sorry, I was going to suggest this earlier but just got busy and forgot to respond
Glad you found it.

Use NeoSpeech or MS SAPI 4/5 speech packs with Captivate

We were a astonished that Captivate only supports english text-to-speech although it is sold in other language versions. We require French TTS support for our project. Is it possible to use an installed language package, either from NeoSpeech (which is evidently used by Captivate) or from Microsoft?
I had a look at the NeoSpeech products and could not find French anyway. But considering the language versions of Captivate I assume that there is at least a way to provide TTS support at additional costs?

Please, if you want to help us all, international users who need to have CP-movies in other languages than English, post a feature request to the Adobe team. I have been asking a lot of times to pay more attention to those users, to make localization easier. But it helps really if more users, in the same situation, add their support for those requests. The Adobe team is aware of the problem, but if we are more to put pressure on them, the chance of succeeding will be greater. The link to the feature/bug requests is in the main page of this forum.

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,

Captivate 7 - NeoSpeech Fatal Error (Windows user)

Hi,
My IT department has just updated my software from Cp 6 to Cp 7 and installed NeoSpeech from Adobe online link (as well as Assets) and I'm just testing the software, however, am receiving the following fatal error when trying to assign speech agent to text, then the system freezes.
Just wondering if I need to go back to them to re-install NeoSpeech again, or something I have done?
Thankyou
Sharon

Did your IT department set Captivate 7 up for you to be launched with Run As Administrator privileges? If not, that might be your issue.
To test if this is the issue:
Have one of the IT admins log into your PC, launch Captivate with Run As Administrator.
Then try to perform the exact task you were doing when Cp7 crashed.
If the app works fine for the IT Admin under Run As Administrator then you know what you need.

Linking NeoSpeech Voices and Captivate 6...

Hello,
I recently installed Captivate 6 and NeoSpeech Voices 6 on my home computer. I can open and work with Captivate 6, and I get the message that the Neo Voices was also correctly installed. Unfortunately, when I go under Speech Management, Microsoft Anna is the only voice available to me. It also says at the bottom of Speech Management that I have not downloaded and installed NeoSpeech Voices, although I have. I actually used that link to do so.
Do I have to do something to "link" the two programs so that the additional voices are available to me?

Hi Vish,
I don’t have an AppData folder after my user name. I uninstalled Captivate last night including preferences so, if possible, can you give me the installation and setup steps from scratch.
Thank you,

NeoSpeech install issue Captivate 8.0.0.145 download version

I am having problems installing the NeoSpeech text to speech (Captivate Voices 64 bit).
I have downloaded it successfully, but when we install it, it says we need a feature that was on the DVD or the download site. I downloaded Captivate from Adobe, and don't have a disc. I used the "Click here to download" and downloaded the Captivate 8 Voices_x64 file.
When I try running it, I get this pop up warning: "We've encountered the following issues. Installer failed to initialize. This could be due to a missing file. Please download Adobe Support Adviser to detect the problem."
We get this from the link: The Adobe Support Adviser has been discontinued "The Adobe Support Adviser tool was used to analyze installer log and system information associated with installation errors. The tool has been replaced with improved installation support mechanisms. Please visit Adobe Support section for Knowledge base articles around Installation."
I have tried chat with Adobe 3 different days, and it says they are busy, Any ideas on what I need to get to make this work?

Whenever I try to extract it the voices file shows an error stating, " The file is either unknown format or damaged". The characters package always get stuck at certain point and the screen freezes. Please help.

Captivate 5 Windows 7 Neospeech not working

We have a machine with Captivate 5 and Win 7 that we've reinstalled Captivate to. The Loquindo voices loaded but we need the Neospeech voices. The VT folder contains Paul and Kate but they do not appear as speech agents in any drop down when Captivate is opened.
Susan

Hi There,
Welcome to Adobe Community.
If you are getting that problem, you might have to reset the preferences.
Kindly do the following:
Close Captivate.
Go to C:/Users/[user-name]/AppData/Local/Adobe
You will see a folder named Captivate 5.
Rename that to something like OLDCaptivate.
Launch captivate again and check.
Thanks!

Captivate 4 not using changes in Neospeech dictionary

I have added words to the Neospeech dictionary and they are not getting recognized by Captivate 4 when I convert text to speech. This was working fine at one time. I have made not changes. I reinstalled the utility but it is still not working.
Any suggestions???

I found the solution here (http://labnol.blogspot.com/2004/09/export-captivate-movie-to-macromedia.html). I'll reprint the steps here:
1. Close Flash CS4 if it is open.
2. Open Windows Explorer.
3. Navigate to:
C:\Program Files\Adobe\Captivate
4. Copy the RDMFISTUB.dll file.
5. Navigate to:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash CS4\en\Configuration
Note: The 'Local Settings' folder by default is hidden. If you are unable to locate the 'Local Settings' folder you can unhide it by opening Windows Explorer, select Tools > Folder Options > View, and select the option to 'Show hidden files and folders'.
6. Create a new folder called Importers. Your final path should look like this:
C:\Documents and Settings\username\Local Settings\Application Data\Macromedia\Flash 8\en\Configuration\Importers
7. Paste the RDMFISTUB.dll into the Importers folder.
8. Open Flash CS4.
9. Create a New Flash Document. Save the document (or Flash may freeze when importing)
10. Select File > Import > Import to Stage.
11. Browse to and select the CP file.
12. Click OK.
Here is a comparison picture of the results. Without the steps above the imported Captivate assets will reside inside of a movie symbol (one for each slide). This is labeled "incorrect" in the image. I want each asset on a new layer in the root timeline. This is labeled "correct" in the image.
I want to go from Captivate to Flash to After Effects (because Captivate generated Flash files are unreadable in After Effects). For full disclosure, I used Captivate 3 in the steps above, but I hope this is a solution for Captivate 4 as well (I decided to stick with Captivate 3 because it worked in a project I used a year ago).
