Problems installing german text-to-speech package ...
Hi guys,
recently, I bought the new Navigator 6710. Everything works fine, except for the missing text-to-speech package in German. So I decided to download and install it via cellphone and PC. Neither of those options were successful. The installation finishes stating "Installation successful", yet there is no new entry for the German voice (e.g. Jürgen or Nicole).
I was quite desperately looking for an answer so far, but wasn't able to find one, yet. I hope you guys are able to help me findig a solution.
Thanks in advance,
Freddy
Thank you Vikram, you helped me a lot.
So i only have to install the text to speech products and their voices are then available in captivate?
Does anyone has experience with such programs or knows voices that sound really good. I like the voice of Stefan from Loquendo.
But i don't find where to buy it and the serviceteam didn't respond.

How do I install the text to speech voices in Captivate 7 trial
I am on day 2 of the 30-day trial. I downloaded the voice zip files, but can't seem to get them recognized/installed in the trial version. How do I do this?
Thanks.Hi there,
If you have downloaded the voices for Captivate 7, then it has downloaded the zipped file for Text to speech installer.
You need to extract that zipped file to a folder first, then inside that folder there is setup.exe file, double click on setup.exe to start the installation. (Captivate should be closed while installing voices)
Note: The set up of text to speech are different for Captivate 7 32 bit and Captivate 7 64 bit, so make sure that you have downloaded the appropriate one.
Thanks. -
Hello,
I'm currently using Captivate 4 and am trying to download and install the text-to-speech software, following the instructions in the following tutorial:
http://www.robowizard.com/RoboWizard/Tutorials/Captivate/TTS.htm
Everything is great until I get to step 19. Instead of installing the voices, I get an error that states "Install Adobe Captivate 4 before installing Neo Speech Text to Speech.", though clearly I have already installed Captivate 4. Any ideas?
Thanks,
JessicaHi Rick,
I downloaded it from here:
http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/857/cpsid_85714.html (it took some digging to find this), but it does look like the correct thing...
Thank you,

Downloaded and installed the text to speech contraption
today. When I click
the Convert to speech button the Speech Setting dialog
displays. I select
the voice, click OK and get an error "Unable to decode and
import the
selected wav/mp3 file."
Is there a setting I missed? Does anyone know where this is
installed to?
RayHi Kristen
I think the whole scheme of installing the voices could use
more work. First you are taken rather generically to the Captivate
product page. You then have to figure out which page to visit in
order to obtain the download. Many seem to miss the long string of
text that needs to be clicked to download. Sounds like you have
made it that far. Good on ya!
If memory serves, once you download, you run an executable.
One would think they are finished at that point. But I believe what
happens is that running the executable you download simply creates
a folder with some files. I believe what you then have to do is to
run *ANOTHER* executable inside the folder created by running the
first executable in order to actually install the voices and make
them available.
So examine the folder and see if there isn't another
executable to run. I think there will be.

Hello. Having a little problem installing my applet. The package loads cleanly, but when I try to install the applet it blows up and returns an OP.error.E6.6A86. I looked this up and found out that it means SW_INCORRECT_P1P2. After looking at my code for the longest time, I can't figure out why this error would be thrown. I throw the error in my process method, but can't understand where it would come from in the install or constructor. Any help figuring this out is greatly appreciated. Thanks. Justin

    }Thanks for the help. I tried sending the 0C to make the applet selectable and then received a 0x6A81, SW_FUNC_NOT_SUPPORTED. I didn't have the select or deselect methods in my applet, so I added those also and then received the same error. So what I currently have is the previous code plus this:
   public boolean select()
   {
      return true;
   }
   public void deselect()
   {
      return;
   }
I can't help but think it's got to be some little thing, because it looks fine to me. I greatly appreciate the help. Justin. -
Captivate 6, Text-To-Speech: No German voice?!?
My company just bought the upgrade from Captivate 5.5 to Captivate 6. After installing Captivate 6 as well as the additional speech package there is no German voice ("Stefan") available anymore in the "Speech Agent" droplist ("Speech Management" dialog)!?
This function is crucial for us since all our software demos are published in German and English.
Is there another speech package I have to install or what can I do?
Thanks,
OlafHi,
Ok, I did some more research for Germen voices too and in the end I found that only http://www.cereproc.com could provide voices that work with Adobe Captrivate 6.
http://www.ivona.com: I installed the demo and Captivate 6 does see the voices and allows you to assign them to the TTS sentences. However, when it comes to generating the audio, Captivate picks up the voice that is selected in the control panel » speech section. That's fine if you need a single voice in your project, but if you want a dialog between two or more persons then you have a problem. I have sent an email to query their support for a solution but did not receive a reply.
http://www.neospeech.com: I have seen topics here in the forum where people say it works. Unfortunately they have very few voices and German is not one of them.
http://www.loquendo.com: I believe this is the provider of the English voices that come with Captivate 6. I searched their website for a demo or a store to purchase more voices and I couldn't find it. I only found a few pages that say they are now part of Nuance with a broken link to their TTS solutions.
http://www.nuance.com: like Loquendo, I can't find any page with a TTS demo or a store to purchase more voices. I have sent them an email weeks ago and never received a reply.
http://www.acapela-group.com: you can't buy from them directly, their website sends you to third party resellers. I visited the website of 2 resellers in my country (Netherlands) but again, I couldn't find a page with a demo or store to purchase.
So, the only provider left for me is http://www.cereproc.com. On their website you can quicly find, purchase and download a voice. All you need to do then is install the voice, enter the license and (re-)start Captivate.
Hope this helps

Error when trying to install text-to-speech
Hello,
I have spent a good amount of time on this board as well as on the internet at large to try to find an answer to my issue. I found the great Captivate movie posted in the forums to walk users through the install process of Captivate's text to speech, but I'm having a problem when I get to installing the executable file.
When I double click on Captivate4_NeoSpeech.exe, I receive this error:
The screen shot may be hard to read- the text is "The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application."
I am suspecting that it has something to do with my computer set-up rather than the exe file, but I was hoping someone could help me out. I am at a loss.
I am running windows XP SP3.
Thanks in advance for any help you can give!
SarahHi there
Please take a moment and file a Bug report to Adobe. After you do this, you may find that someone on the Adobe team will contact you with more information. I'm not claiming it works in all cases, but you never know. Maybe they will come back to you with a suggestion. Certainly won't hurt to try.
Cheers... Rick

Text to speech problem/glitch in 10.6.8
Hello,
I have recently been having problems with my macbook pro running Mac OS X 10.6.8 announcing the time, and more recently I have had a general text to speech problem. It used to annouce the time perfectly every hour, however now whenever the time changes to noon or midnight in announces instead "it is now 12 o *garble" with the garble sounding like the computer glitching or like a cd skipping. That wasnt too big of problem but now it has started to effect my ipod shuffle, and text to speech messes up the pronuciation on about half the songs on it. Does anybody have suggestions or have they dealt with a similiar problem?
Thanks!Try some hardware resets first. This is reseting PRAM
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT1379
and resetting SMC (power management)
http://support.apple.com/kb/HT3964
If that does not help, then it is more likely to be a software issue affecting the overall OS. It might be a third-party system extension that is causing a conflict, or some system component may have become corrupted since the original installation. System extensions are installed here
<startup volume>/System/Library/Extensions/
but it is often difficult to see anything that is obviously wrong. If you see anything listed that is obviously for hardware or software that you no longer use, you can try removing it.
Short of doing a complete re-install of Mac OS X, it may help to apply the 10.6.8 "combo" update manually. This will re-install all the system components that have been updated since the initial 10.6 release. It can sometimes fix mysterious problems that are difficult to diagnose precisely. This is the combo updater for 10.6.8.
http://support.apple.com/kb/DL1399
NOTE: Before doing a system update, you should have a good backup. If you have been using Time Machine, that will serve as your backup. Things can go wrong during system updates, and you don't want to end up with an unbootable system, with no backup. -

I have my Mac announce the time every 1/4 hour in Japanese. The first problem is that it's saying "it's" before the time... for example "it's go ji ju go fun" but with the Japanese accent, it sounds (oddly enough) like the Japanese word for "when." The second problem is that it is saying "o'clock" in a Japanese accent (sounds like "oku roku" after the hour-number).
In order to provide replicateable examples of what I'm talking about: Using OS 10.7.1, grab the "Kyoko" text to speech voice and set the Date & Time system preference to announce the time every 1/4 hour with the custom voice set to Kyoko. If you don't have the rest of your Mac language settings as Japanese, it should ask you if you are sure you want to use a voice that dosen't speak the current system language. Now wait for the next quarter-hour announcement.
I'm also attaching a clip of two examples:
The first clip you will hear is "it's 10:45" which sounds like Itsu Jyu Ji Yon Jyu Go Fun
I want to change into "now is 10:45" (今は10:45) which should sound likeIma wa Jyu Ji Yon Jyu Go Fun
The second clip is "it's 4:00" which sounds like Itsu Yon Oku Roku
This would, ideally, be "now is 4:00 - period" (今は4:00です。) which should sound like Ima wa Yo Ji Des
I know there must be some way to add an exception the "o'clock" modifier, otherwise the English TTS voices would say something like "it's nine zero zero" I just don't know where to look yet.. and I'm still learning the ins-and-outs of xcode.

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?

Download problem on Text to Speech
I have Captivate 4 loaded and did not originally install Text to Speech. I have installed the download multiple ways, but prior to that I was getting the following error message: The Application failed to Initialize properly (0vc0000005). Click on OK to terminate the application. I followed the Captivate 4 module instructing me to go and get the trial version and execute the download file which I did, but when I go to my project to convert text to speech, it tells me I need to do a download again.
Hi Linda
Did you fully watch the tutorial? I ask because it's possible that you saw the first part and concluded it just walked you through what you have already done. The thing is, you download and run a file. But all you have downloaded and run are the INSTALL files for the Text To Speech. You have to then navigate to where the install files were placed and launch the installer to actually install TTS.
Cheers... Rick
