Text-to-Speech Download - Captivate 4

Hi all, I'm currently using a volume license registered version of Captivate 4. Would like to utilize text-to-speech feature, but whenever I try to enable, a download window pops up, I click it, and it directs me to a "buy captivate 5" webpage. Can anyone provide me with a working URL to download the text-to-speech files for Captivate 4? Also would like instructions on how to proceed after download. Thanks!

  • Captivate 8 keeps crashing when generating Text to Speech

    Captivate 8 keeps crashing when I try to generate audio for text to speech. Captivate generates a backup file but I can't get my backup file to open, it says that the file is corrupt or already open.
    Has anyone else encountered this problem?
    Thanks.

    Hi  There , 
    Is  your  Captivate  8  updated ?
    Is  that  issue  occurs  with  a  specific  project ?  Please  test  with  a  new  /  blank  project  and  try  to  generate  audio  for  text  to  speech .

  • Slow down text to speech voice

    I am using text to speech on Captivate 4.  Essentially, I love the text-to-speech feature; however, sometimes the voice is just too fast.  I do not want to add pointless punctuation because I use the same text for the Closed Captioning.  Does anyone know how to slow down the voice (Paul) so people actually can follow what he is saying.
    Thanks !!

    Adobe implemented VTML in Captivate 4, which is a mark up language for Text to Speech.
    It looks something like this (The color added for emphasis):
    Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet \pause, consectetur \speed=30 adipisicing elit \speed=50 \pause, sed do eiusmod tempor \speed=30 incididunt \pitch=20 ut
    The \pause, creates a half second pause and and a \pause. creates a full second pause
    The \speed= changes the speed for all the text that comes after the tag in that segment.  In this case I took it down to 30 and then brought it back up to 50 before the pause and then down again at the end.
    Thte \pitch= changes the pitch of the speech.  I made it very deep at the end.
    Here's a more in depth explanation of some of these tage, taken from the Adobe Captivate blog:
    The following commands allow the quality of the output voice to be  controlled by modifying its rhythm, intonation, volume and timbre. The  output speech is modified from the word following the command, up until  the end of the prompt.
    Speed Control: Allows the speaking rate to be modified, expressed in an abstract scale 0-100.
    \speed=<num>
    Example: 
    \speed=60 (Scale 0-100)
    \speed=60 This text is read at a faster speed.
    Pitch Control: allows the fundamental frequency (tone or pitch) to be modified, expressed in an abstract scale 0-100
    \pitch=<num>
    Example:
    \pitch=60 (Scale 0-100)
    \pitch=60 This text is read at a 60Hz frequency rating.
    Volume Control: allows the volume (loudness) to be modified, expressed in an abstract scale 0-100 or in decibels (dB).
    \volume=<num>
    Example:
    \volume=60 (Scale 0-100)
    \volume=60 This text will be read at a 60 decibel rating.
    Timbre Control: allows the voice timbre to be modified by a shift in frequency, expressed in an abstract scale 0-100.
    \timbre =<num>
    Example:
    \timbre=60 (Scale 0-100)
    \timbre=60 This text is read at a timbre value of 60.
    If you haven't installed the improved voice to text voices, get them off of the "Extras" folder on the Captivate install CD or download them here:

    Look for the install links for windows and mac below the trial link.

  • Non-english text-to-speech (Cp 6.1)

    Hi,
    I was wondering if it is possible for me to add a dutch voice to the text-to-speech in Captivate 6.1. I've seen the possibilty of adding certain NeoSpeech voices, but I couldn't find a dutch one. On my PC, I've got quite a few number of licensed TTS voices because of the numerous TTS software I own (such as Kurzweil 3000 etc.) and they've got numorous dutch voices available that are used by the TTS software.
    Thanks in advance!
    ADIBib

    Hi
    You can integrate your TTS voices with Captivate.
    To integrate the voices, see some tips from Kimberly CBT on this thread.

  • 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.

  • Captivate 4 text to speech function

    I just downloaded the trial version for Captivate 4. I
    specifically wanted to see the new text to speech function that
    they have added to it. When I downloaded it and tried to use it, I
    received an error message that stated "Unable to decode and import
    the selected wav/mp3 file". Is anyone familiar with this?

    This did work and my Captivate is working great!
    Thank you!

    Please update your Captivate 4 application by installing the latest patch available. To install patch, launch Captivate and follow menu items "Help > Update". Captivate 4 patch update will be recognized and installed on your system.
    Once patch is installed, try to record the same scenario. Do let us know if the recording succeeds for you.

  • 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

  • Customizing Text to Speech pronunciation in Captivate 7?

    Hi,
    I'm trying to customize the dictionary pronunciation of the Captivate 7  NeoSpeech Julie voice.
    I wanted her to say E Procurement instead of EProcurement.
    I tried following the steps in this post, though the instructions were for Captivate 4 and I get a message saying I don't have a license for UserDicEng.exe
    http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/customizing_text_to_speech_pro.html
    Any ideas for how I can customize the pronunciation for words?
    Thanks,

  • Text - To - Speech.. Captivate 6

      Hello,
        Is there an easier way to install the new voices for Adobe Captvate 6?   I have installed Neo Speech invoices on my computer like Captivate instructed, but my Adobe Application Manager is somehow broken and won't install the voices to Captivate.  I have tried to download and re-install Adobe Application Manger, but that hasn't work -- I still get the same error message.   Any help would be appreciated!
       Ryan

    Hi Priyank,
      Thanks for getting back to me.  Unfortunately, the error is in German.
      It basically just says : Adobe Application Manager could possibly be damaged.  Please download and install a new copy.
      If problems continue to arise, contact support for help. (I attached the error message below.)
    The problem is that my copy of Adobe Application Manager is fine.  I just downloaded Adobe After Effects with it.

  • Adobe Captivate 6 Spanish text to speech

    Hi we are using Adobe Captivate 6.  We were wondering if there is an option to get text to speech in Spanish language.  We are currently using NeoSpeech which provides German, French and English (couple of accents).
    Are there any alternatives to this?

    Hello,
    Welcome to Adobe Forums.
    Spanish Text to Speech is not available as an add-on for Adobe Captivate.
    You can purchase Spanish Voice from NeoSpeech.com and Loquendo.com.
    Thanks,
    Vikram
