  • Text to Speech conversion - Does anyone recommend any software?

    I am currently looking at a way to convert the written text in my captivate modules into spoken word without recording a voice over. Ive only just started digging into it and wondered if Captviate itself has a way of doing this, or if any kind of 3rd party applications plug into Captviate to do it? Im on mac if that helps.
    If neither of the above is possible, does anyone recommend any text to speech tools. I am really after something more along the lines of Siri etc rather than the old school more robotic sounding converters. I really am after something more natural and more believable as human.
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Jay

    I have just discovered the in built content. The standard ones arent great so I have installed the Neospeech content. Ive just posted a problem I have encountered with those though. I would prefer an UK English male as its to represent a character I have created but I could settle with Paul if I cant find a better alternative.
    I had considered voicing it myself but I dont want the character to become me or vice versa as the content will be used in my organisation and people will associate him with me.

  • Text to Speech(mp3) conversion in flash

    Hi ,
    I want to convert text to Speech without using Google api.So that I can run the application offline.
    So is there a way to convert  text to Speech (mp3) and upload the converted mp3 file in a folder in flash as3.
    Thanks.

    I have found that Text-to-Speech works just fine in Yosemite's Preview application — without changing any standard settings. I added additional voices, and it works equally well with these too. You should not expect Text-to-Speech functionality with text that is incorporated into a graphic though.
    Both Edit > Speech  > Start Speaking, and after enabling in Text-to-Speech Preferences, Speak selected text when the key is pressed (option+Esc).

  • I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud

    I have created PDF from hardcopy by using my scanner. After I run OCR option for my PDF by using Acrobat Pro 9. But "Text-to-speech" functionality of the PDF says that an error message comes up that says the page is empty when I turns on the read out loud option in Acrobat. Kindly help me to sortout this problems?

    So I tried generating the same PDFs on two other computers that have Acrobat 9 Pro.  Results were reproduced.  The verdict is:
    - complex PDF files (that is, containing cross-references, tables of contents, and bookmarks) generated by Acrobat 9.x Pro are roughly 2-5x larger than the identical file generated with Acrobat 8.x Pro.
    - different PDF conversion settings make a negligable difference (less than 10% rather than 70-80%).
    - using the "Reduce File Size" or "Optimize PDF" option cuts the file size roughly in half, almost always resulting in a "image downsampling mask" warning message, which requires acknowledgement (that is a problem for batch processing or automation).
    - adding an Acrobat watermark to the file cuts the file size roughly in half.
    - just using Save As to another filename has no effect on file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 with links but no PDF bookmarks still results in the inflated file size.
    - generating the PDF in Acrobat 9 without any links or bookmarks results in approximately the same file size as the Acrobat 8 PDF with full links and bookmarks.
    It appears that Acrobat 9's manner of adding links is what's bloating  the files, and in my case it's probably not related to images or image resolution/print quality.  It's a shame, because Acrobat 9 seems to have made some  improvements to the Review Tracker interface, and a few other bells and  whistles which I haven't really gotten around to exporing yet.  But  unless I find a way to keep my links and the PDF file sizes comparable to what I was  getting with Acrobat 8 Pro, it looks like I'm going to stay with Acrobat 8.

  • Text to Speech does not appear to be working in the new version of Pages

    I have tried several ways to get the text to speech feature to work with the new version of Pages, but haven't yet had success. I use that feature in editing my articles alot, so I guess I'll stick with Pages 09 for now.
    Anyone found a work around?

    Nope, working as intended.
    Pages 5 breaks accesibility completely.
    If you're visually-impaired DO NOT UPDATE.

  • Using text-to-speech technology in my web app

    Hi all,
    I work for a small web development company and we're curently in the process
    of building a web app for foreign language learners. One of the features
    we'd like to have is speech synthesis. We immediately thought about
    incorporating the technology developed by Apple into our app, but
    I want to make sure we're allowed to do that in the first place.
    Basically, here's what we want to do: we have a simple application
    where users can learn new vocabulary. Every word saved by a user
    can have a few example sentences (also posted by our users).
    We could then generate audio files from these sentences using
    "say" command (which is built into the Mac OS) and put
    them on our website.
    If you're familiar with Apple's policy on such uses of their text-to-speech
    synthesis, I'd be grateful if you could clarify it for me.
    Thanks.
    PS: it's my first post here, so if I chose the wrong forum, please let me know where
    I should post it.

    Hi there
    I've noticed more than few posts about this since Captivate 4
    was released.
    Are you by chance using Windows Vista 64 bit? Seems most that
    have reported this issue have been using that version.
    Please report it to Adobe as a bug.

  • I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key and due to an injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She is using a text to speech app to verbaliz

    I need to reprogram the delete and enter key to the left side of a external keyboard for the ipad mini. I don't need the caps/lock or ctrl key. Due to a brain injury my daughter can only use her left hand to type. She also uses a text to speech app to verbalize all of her needs since her speech isn't intelligible any longer either. And her vision was significantly affected also, so the keyboard has to be mounted about 6 inches from her face. So to reach across the keyboard with her left hand to the right side delete and enter button is physically difficult and causes typing errors, which cause people to not understand what shes trying to say.
    The best keyboard so far is the Zagg folio mini. I just had to make stickers to enlarge the letters on the key buttons.
    Does anyone know how I can reprogram these two keys? Or where I can buy a wireless mini keyboard for Ipad made for lefthanders with these two functions on the left side. I have searched for days and days. It's sooooo important to me that she be able to contribute her voice again. Imagine if you got in a car accident and couldn't speak clearly any longer, but understood everything still. Thanks for any help and suggestions you all take the time to share with me. I really appreciate the kindness of strangers to help me help my daughter.

    You cannot.

  • Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once?

    Can you copy multiple audio (text to speech) files from one slide onto a new slide at once? OR do you have to copy and paste each line of text to speech and insert into new slide?

    Hi there
    I believe that you end up with a single file that you can use. Once you get that created, it's an audio file in the library. You may then add the audio file to another slide or object by looking in the Library after choosing to add audio.

  • How to make a tts text-to-speech keyboard shortcut

    Hi,
    How do I make a tts text-to-speech keyboard shortcut
    to control the OSX "Speech" available as a contextual menu
    when you right-click selected text in Safari, TextEdit and other native apps
    *Speech > Start Speaking*
    *Speech > Stop Speaking*
    I can get this far:
    *System Preferences > Keyboard > Keyboard Shortcuts >*
    I have low-vision and need this on as many as possible or all text running on my computer.
    Less important: The "Speech" contextual menu is not available right-clicking text in Google Chrome. I could sure use it there too.
    THANKS!

    If you want it turned on permanently open Universal Access preferences, click on the Seeing tab, turn on VoiceOver. Click on the VoiceOver Application button for more configuration options.
    There's also a shortcut option for TTS in the Speech preferences.

  • Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.

    Does anyone know of an e-reader app for the iphone that has text to speech capability? I have a Kindle 3G that can read whole pdf documents and books but I cannot figure out how to do it on my iphone 4.
    All of the apps I have found on the App store either do not have the text to speech capability or if they have it they will only read a page at a time or simply read the text you paste into their window. I really do not understand what is so difficult about having this feature as Kindle provides it--though Amazon does not make the feature available on its iPhone 4 app.
    Please help.

    thanks. yes i am aware of the VoiceOver feature but it is NOT the solution to my problem. as you said, it is a solution to a different set of issues. i want the text to speech ability because i there are books i need to read but do not have the time to sit down and read them and have become used to listening to them read to me either by a professional human reader or with the text to speech software on the Kindle.
    I think Apple makes the best audio devices but i am really disappointed in this inexplainable shortcoming. if apple can give us siri they ought to be able to design a nice little button that i can push to turn on text to speech while i am in a document, book, magazine or webpage. clearly it is possible as apple has added the "reader" button in safari to have web pages dropped into the reader format.
    thanks for your suggestion though, it is what everyone suggests but it does not address the issue.

  • I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

    I am looking for a text to speech app that supports the Books App?

    If Settings -> General -> Accessibility -> VoiceOver does not work, then it is unlikely iBooks will do text to speach on its own in the current version.
    <http://www.apple.com/feedback>
    I know that some competing services, Kindle, Nook, etc... are restricted in doing text to speach by the book publishers.
    If this is text in a PDF (not an ebook), then maybe there is another app that can to text to speach on PDFs.
    If it is published books that are of interest, there is Audible.com <http://www.audible.com/>
    In theory it should be possible to use the Mac OS X Text to Speach facilities to convert a document into an audio file, and they sync that to the iPod Touch.  I assume there is similar text to speach utilities for Windows systems.
    I'm also guessing that there are web sites dedicated to assisting sight impaired individuals that might provide ideas for getting text to speach options for the iPod Touch.

  • Error while generating Text to Speech in XP

    Hi,
    I'm getting an error when I try to generate Text to Speech from within Speech Management in Captivate 5 running on Win XP sp3 (swedish).
    When i click on Generate Audio I get the error: "Error occurred while generating Text to Speech Audio for Slide 1."
    Error occurrs when using the Loquendo and Neospeech voices. Microsoft Sam works though...
    Same installation on Windows 7 works just fine, all of the voices generates audio file without error. Unfortunately our clients are only allowed to run XP...
    What am I doing wrong?

    Hi There,
    - What is the text that are you trying to convert to speech? Does that contain any non-english character?
    - Is your project an upgraded one from an earlier Captivate version?
    - Create a new project in Captivate 5 and insert single slide. Use this text - "This is adobe captivate" and try to convert it to speech using neo speech/loquendo voices. Does this work properly?

  • Text-to-speech no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.5.

    Text-to-speech is no longer working in any PDF apps in Mac 10.8.4/5.  Does anyone know the software component that passes highlight text over to the speech synthesiser?   How is this process different in PDF's compared to any other text format?
    So far I have tried Preview, Skim, PDFView, Safari, Evernote and Adobe Reader with the result: silence.  The only defference being Adobe Reader which speaks the name of the document and not the highlighted text.  I've re-applied the Mac OS10.8.5 como-update, fixed prefs, ran FSCheck and changed user.  I've tried every method of triggering the text-to-speech function (including custom scripts). Text-to-speech works perfectly in every other respect exept when working with PDF's. When Maveriks arrives I will do a clean install and rebuild my data manually which I'm pretty certain will fix the problem but it would be extremely rewarding to find an actual solution and learn something in the process. 

    Rawr! I got it to work, sort of. I think I tried so hard because I hated the thought of using alsa-oss. And I discovered a couple bugs in spd-conf! Does anyone care? lol
    Basically, I redid my TTS-related configs & put them under ~/ instead of /usr/share, and ran "festival --server" & "speech-dispatcher -s" as a normal user. I also added myself to the "audio" group somewhere along the line, but I don't think that was the issue.
    I'm almost afraid to reboot, because, although speech-dispatcher can be started at boot-time through rc.conf's DAEMONS array, I don't think festival can---at least, not in the same way as it can on distros that have the script /etc/default/festival. I'm about to see if I can track down that file, and hope I don't break everything somehow.
    KTTSMgr still doesn't see any synthesizers, but I got past the "dummy module" message. Now I'm hoping I'll get some help from someone who actually knows what to do (as opposed to me).
    Take care, all
    H
    P.S One small complaint: Although my speechd.conf specified port 6561, speech-dispatcher's tests showed that it was looking for a connection on port 6560 first, before scanning to find the real port. I had to change to port 6560 to stop the behaviour, even though I never customized the port number in the first place.
