Text To Speech feature request

I'm listening music through original iphone4 headset. When I recieve a call I used to get iPhone from my pocket to see who's calling me. So it would be nice if iPhone could say me who is calling. Something like "Incoming call from Jonh Smith" and then ringtone. Only when headset is used.

There's an app in the app store that permits you to do this:
http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/autoringtone-pro-text-to-speech/id333264447?mt=8
They have a number of different apps that do this. You can also suggest Apple add that feature here:

Nokia 5530 text to speech feature help

Its mentioned in the specifications for 5530 that it has a text to speech feature. Can anybody tell me how to use it..???

emailed Nokia and here is their reply;
Thank you for emailing Nokia Care.
It is true that the technical specifications does list the Text to speech as one of the applications installed on the Nokia 5530XM. You may refer to your user guide under the term 'Message reader' as well. Please open your applications folder and browse for your Text to speech folder.
Settings are required prior to using the feature as in the language, voice and the voice settings. Upon completing these settings, you can simply pick up a message from your inbox, select Options and Read.
Should you not have the software in your phone, please download it from the following link. If the Nokia 5530XM is not listed, you can select any of the other XM phones but series 60 like the 5800XM
http://europe.nokia.com/get-support-and-software/download-software/text-to-speech#
so downloaded software and voice package but still no joy-nothing in the extended user guide on the Nokia web site
the key appears to be the 'text to speech' icon in the applications folder which I don't have on my 5530 phone ( very helpful chap at CFW cant find it either)
Come on Nokia help us out here

DOES THE IPAD HAVE A TEXT TO SPEECH FEATURE IN IBOOKS??

DOES THE IPAD HAVE THE TEXT TO SPEECH FEATURE IN IBOOKS??

Actually, there is a small workaround.
It isn't the same as an audiobook, but it does the job.
Go to Settings>General>Accessubility>Voiceover>
I would suggest settkng the speed to slower cnsiderng you
are gong to read books.
Anyway turn voice oier on.
You'll have to double tap everything since Voiceover sais everything you tap once.
Anyway, once you're n the book, just tap the text and boom.
I use ths on websites where there are a kit of text,
You see, this feature is for those who are vision impaired or blind.

Text Eye Dropper Feature Request

As a web designer using Photoshop daily to mock up comps, this would be an incredible feature that I have long thought useful.
Essentially the feature in InDesign already exists. If you have a type treatment set to go already in your document, you could use the text eye dropper tool to sample the attributes and apply it to the desired text. The addition of paragraph and character styles in PS CS6 are a step in this direction, imagine adding a text eye dropper to this as well! I believe this would be a widely welcomed feature by many. Please consider.
Thank you.

I was really hoping to see this implemented. They are definitely going in the right direction with the Paragraph/Character styles, but to me this feature would be far more powerful. I can't stress enough how much easier and efficient comping would be... I guess we'll see.

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.

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.

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!

Hi all
See if the thread linked below helps.

Text to Speech Dictionary Editing

Hey everybody. I'm confused and could stand some help from my fellow Captivators. I'm trying to edit the user dictionary in the text to speech feature of Captivate 4. I saw the blog post at http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2009/03/customizing_text_to_speech_pro.html. I find that the path specified in the post for the dictionary does not exist on my machine, but there are two parallel paths, one for Kate and one for Paul at C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\VT\Kate\M16\data-common\userdict and C:\Program Files\Adobe\Adobe Captivate 4\VT\Paul\M16\data-common\userdict. In playing with this, it appears to me that Paul uses Kate's userdict_eng.csv. But he has his own dictionary in the above path. If I edit the dictionary in Paul's path, then re-launch Captivate, none of the pronunciation changes take place. But if I edit Kate's dictionary, then re-launch Captivate, the new pronunciation is spoken by both Kate and Paul. ????
Am I seeing the right thing here? If so, it would appear that I should always edit Kate's dictionary and ignore Paul's??? Or am I completely off the mark?
Thanks.

Hi there
Is is possible that after you edited Kate's dictionary you performed another action that caused both to be read in? You might try this by further editing Paul's and seeing if the changes take effect or if it only happens after you also edit Kate's.
Just thinking out loud... Rick

Feature Request:- Option to reply to reply to emails in text

Hi there....
Is it possible to set up replying to emails to send text (with no html)
If not, can i get a feature request to send emails in text, or is there an app that has this feature?
It is sad I get maybe between 40 and 100 emails a day, that I cannot reply to on my Touchpad, or Pre 2, as they only allow text email return.
as of 2007, there were over 109 million yahoo group members across 8.8 million groups. Mostly support forums, sending and recieving emails to and from 109 million people.
These support forums and other ghelp yahoo groups, require emails to be received in text, and in our email apps had to set for text only, to avoid viruses and other attempts at marketting.
I get my yahoo support emails, on webos, but cannot reply from webos, and have to wait until i get to my laptop with thunderbird.
please can you add text send/reply option for those 109 million plus yahoo group users who cannot reply to yahoo groups emails.
thanks....
this is a major pain and must be for others.

Managing layered PSD files in Aperture
For those who absolutely must manage layered PSD files in Aperture, here is the way to do it...
1- In your original PSD file, HIDE ALL LAYERS above the background layer
2- IMPORT this PSD file into Aperture
3- CREATE A VERSION in Aperture by choosing to edit externally in Photoshop.
4- Back in Photoshop OPEN THE ORIGINAL PSD file along with the new version
5- LINK all the LAYERS in the original PSD file and DRAG them TO the new VERSION (holding the shift key down so they pin register)
6- SAVE the new version in Photoshop
7- Back in Aperture your version is now an exact layered copy of your original which will not flatten when reopened from Aperture into Photoshop.
Obviously this process will be rather tedious if you need to deal with hundreds of layered PSD files, but if you are in that situation that implies you already have a workflow and a storage strategy that works well for you. So why change, especially to Aperture?
Adobe Bridge or Media Pro or Portfolio are the obvious programs for you !

Feature Request: Please fix text editing

Hi there great Adobe Team!
I am usign your product for rapid web prototyping. Often times ontop of my interface drawing, I use the text tool to write some text, and then put a nice colored background box behind it.
The problem I am facing is this:
It seams you have mapped the control-left and control-right keys to change the spacing of the letters. Unfortunately, this is a common mapping used in windows to jump to the next word!
Your current key mapping assignment makes text editing quite troublesome!!!
Can you please change these key maps in your next update?
Thanks very much
Sincerely yours,
a developer that uses Fireworks and Adobe Cloud everyday!

TokyoFire,
Hi! This is a user-to-user forum. I recommend that you submit your feature request directly to Adobe using their official Feature Request and Bug Report Submission form:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform
For future reference, it is possible to change many of the keyboard shortcuts in Fireworks using the Keyboard Shortcuts dialog (under Fireworks > Keyboard Shortcuts). Here, you can choose from several different sets or create your own customized set. Within each set, there are three categories: Menu Commands, Tools, and Miscellaneous.
Unfortunately, none of these categories seems to include the shortcut to which you're referring (for text kerning). To expand upon your suggestion, I'd recommend that Adobe consider adding this missing shortcut to the Miscellaneous category, or create a new category called Text, where users can access and modify this and any other missing, text-oriented keyboard shortcuts.

Feature request...rich-text for notes field

I hope Adobe reads these posts! Notes in Presenter would be much better if they accepted rich-text. This only makes sense since the Notes field in PowerPoint is rich-text. Please add this feature in future releases.

Hello,
You could get directly to the Adobe team if you filled out a proper feature request. Here is the link:
https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&product=5
Then you will be sure that they read your request, and they do, believe me,

Feature request: better tools for commenting and editing text

We currently use a comments-enabled Acrobat workflow with InDesign to track changes to our large catalog project. Was hoping to move our team over to CS Live, but currently the commenting tools are sub-par, and not accurate enough for extensive text editing. My request would be to imitate the text editing functionality of Acrobat:
In CS Live online:
- allow users to be able to copy selected text. (This is useful when a reviewer wants to be able to modify a sentence or paragraph. It's a headache now to have to retype the sentence prior to making modifications)
- Ability to highlight text and hit "delete" to mark text as deleted, or highlight and type over to indicate replaced text
- Ability to click to insert text, and have the comment appear with the inserted text designation (little blue carat like in Acrobat)
- ability to highlight a section of text
In InDesign:
- ability to copy the text in a comment and NOT copy all the other extraneous meta data. (Currently, if you click "copy text", it will copy the comment along with all the details about the comment. For example, "- Amy Stewart [10.06.11 at 12:56 PM]"
- ability to see in InDesign the EXACT part of the text that needs to be modified. Right now, the red box outlines the general area. The CS Review panel shows a tiny thumbnail with black highlight over the area of text that needs to be changed, but unfortunately, there's no way to zoom in on it, so you're stuck having to toggle between InDesign and the online review, where it's possible to zoom. (This diminishes the utility of the CS Review panel.)
If you were able to incoroprate all the commenting functionality of Acrobat, I think you'll have a winner. But right now, we're going to have to stick with Acrobat as it's the only way to easily modify text.

Sorry if I might be stating the obvious (but at least I was such a *dummy* once that I needed this explicitely):
In order to move the sequence of images per drag&drop in grid view you need to
Put the sort order in the bottom toolbar to "user order" (toggle visibility with letter T if not displayed)
Grab an image from within its thumbnail, not from its border-cell.
When you move around you see a vertical black thick line wandering in between images where you would be able to drop it
Put the images first into a collection in case they should be spread across multiple folders.
This is the reason why most often from a filter result you cannot re-arrange.
Still sometimes it does not work as I want, but can *be persuaded*, i.e. I repeat the same trial after first moving to another collection, then return back. I can't nail it down sufficiently to file a bug.
For an automated sorting according to filename (chosse that setting finally in toolbar) you could rename the photos in place, without exporting & re-importing. Just select them and hit <F2> to bring up the renaming dialog like possible during import.
+1 vote from me, as I am neither satisfied with the responsiveness of moving folders within LR e.g. from laptop hard disk to NAS.
Apart from that I try not to build much on my folder structure, just break them into manageable quantities and have a quick "diary-overview" by using naming convention "YYYY-MM-DD description of event" (pictures of up to 4 cameras go inside, unique filenames for Canons achieved by renaming during import). For all the rest I prefer to build (smart) collections.

Text to speech are not installed

I have installed Captivate 4 as well as the Adobe_Captivate
_4_Cont 448 meg text install.
I am running XP and had it working on my computer before I
reformatted the hard drive. Everything else seems to be working
properly, yet I get the not installed error message when I atempt
to utilise the text to speech option. I can see where I can use
either Kate or Paul, yet it still tells me that the speech voices
are not installed. Does anyone know what can I do to get it
working? Thanks for any feedback.

Hello there,
My best recommendation would be to report this issue to the

Is it possible to change the text to speech option to another language?

good afternoon, the company I work in several languages are spoken, English, Spanish and French and I need to create application site in these 3 languages but I can only convert text to speech in English.
please help

Hello,
Sorry but for the moment CP only provides English voices. Please file a feature request (form is in the main page of these forums) to ask for TTS in other languages to support us, non-English users.
