TTS(text to speech) prompts in CUCE

hello everyone
i want to edit sample script of CUE, i want to ask if i can convert text into speech like using TTS prompts in it??
i wanna change only wellcome greeting to my requiremnt so how can i do this in CUCE editor?

Thanks for your reply. That's what I was afraid of. (I could probably program such interface myself, but I really don't like working with Microsoft code, libraries and interfaces... and I have a bit of a time constraint)
That wrapper executable you pointed to looks like it could be promising (and has source code), I'll check it out.

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 Nokia 515 have TTS (Text-to-Speech)?

Hi,
my friend who lost 90% of his eyesight is an avid Nokia user.
He has been using E52 phone for many years mainly for it Text-to-Speech option which allowed him to use a cellular phone at all. (for those who do not know - the phone reads sms, menus, contacts etc.)
Recently, company he is working at, offered him a phone replacement so he asked for a newer Nokia phone that is similar to E52 functionality-wise. They got him Nokia 515. Although it offers most of the E52 stuff it looks like this model doesn't have Text-to-Speech support in the system. Is there any way he can enable TTS on this new phone? Or is there maybe any App in the Ovi Store that would offer such functionality?
If not than maybe there is some different modern Nokia phone (but without a touch screen) that supports visually impaired people in such way E52 did?
Thanks for answering,
Leaffar

Nokia 515 uses as operating system Nokia Series 40.
Nokia E52 uses as operating system Nokia Symbian/S60.
I am neither aware of any solution via the Nokia Store, nor newer models than the Nokia C5-00 5MP. Technically compared to your Nokia E52, this is a step back because it does not offer Wi-Fi.

Using TTS (Text to speech) What characters are illegal?

I'm using TTS to generate lots of audio files from text documents. TTS hangs up from time to time on different characters. Is there a list of illegal characters that I can try to avoid? The text is already written so I'll need to make some sort of batch process to strip and/or replace illegal characters. Here's an example of what Im typing in the terminal: say -o ~/Desktop/TTS/AudioFile.aiff This is the text to be read in the audio file.
Maybe I'm just looking for characters that are illegal in the terminal?
Any help is appreciated, Thanks!

Yeah, excel might be putting escape codes or such in there, maybe een a printer driver & fonts if I know MS.
I don't know about excel, but from NeoOffice I can save as an .xls file as txt/csv.
I looked a an xls file in HexEdit & there is far more junk than text in it.

TTS(text to speech) right to left

Hi
I am currently tryign to format a TTS panel to read form right to left.
I enter the text right click the boc and select right to left and hte text moves, but as soon as I click out of the box the text jumps back to left to right.
I have tried different ways of doing this like changing the direction first for example.
Has anyone experienced this and if so how can I rectify this?
Thanks

Cisco Unity Connection 8.6 Text to Speech

Hi,
I am new with TTS feature.
I have configured unified messaging service and, I can succesfully test it. When I access to the voicemail from the phone I have option 6 to review my calendar and I can succesfully listen and manage the calendar.
I expect that I can also have an option to read the email.. but unfortunately I have no option for TTS. How can I listen to the inbox?
in CUC Search Unified Messaging Services - Edit Unified Messaging Service - (Exchange 2003) the Access Exchange Email by Using Text to Speech (TTS) flag is checked and if I press the test button i got back no errors.
Is there something else to configure? How can I access to the inbox and have TTS reading the email?
thank you in advance

Hi liettig,
Can you please help me with a similar issue? I have CUC 8.5(1) with echagne 2010, only internal use so no TLS configured, single inbox working, voice recognition working, TTS enabled ( and licensed, i verified ) with the same check you did, but i cannot hear email by phone. Is there a particular option to listen to emails?
Thank if you can help me.

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.

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.

Text-to-speech engine is not working

when I want to use 'read out loud' in adobe reader and foxit , I'm get no sound, I have similar problem in babylon that using TTS engine of OS.
I'm using windows 8.1 64 bit.
Do not get any error, but when play would have no sound.
I previously didn't have any problem with these softwares.
really need this functionality, please help me.
Babylon support
told me::
Babylon uses a free text-to-speech engine that was developed by Microsoft and is part of Windows OS. please check with Microsoft support , why your text-to-speech engine is not working.

Hi,
If you go to the Start Screen, search for "Narrator" within All Apps and click it, what happens?
In addition, please follow the steps below to check Speech Properties if there is anything wrong with it.

Can not get Text-to-Speech to work

I can not get Text-to-Speech to work. In "Settings", I can go into "Voice input & output", then to "Voice Output; Text-to-speech settings" and then to "Install voice data; Install the voice data required for speech synthesis" but it is "grayed out". I have downloaded Pico TTS several times and I have soft-reset and hard-reset the device several times. Still no text-to-speech
Any thoughts on what I can do to get text to speech to work?

Odd.... I tried both Vlingo and Handcent and neither of those did Text to speech either. Very odd. I am using same Bluetooth headset that worked on my other HTC device.
Any other thoughts?
Did you activate InCar in Vlingo? I just checked this and it works for me. Once you activate InCar, you should hear "Vlingo InCar".
If Vlingo InCar doesn't work for you, have you considered getting another Bluetooth headset that has the ability to read texts to you, like the Blueant Q2?

Text-to-speech - new voices?

Text to speech problems

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.

CP 5 text to speech--purchased voices integrated directly?

Hi,
I am hoping someone from Adobe will answer this question definitively for me (or someone who has figured this out and tested it). Let's say I have to add text-to-speech to a software demo and provide the demo in, say, five different languages. I have English, French, and German available to me in CP5. But I also need Spanish and Japanese. So I purchase the Spanish and Japanese voices from another TTS vendor (pick a vendor, it shouldn't matter, right?). QUESTION: will the purchased Spanish and Japanese voices be available directly in Captivate just like the voices that came with Captivate?
Thanks!
Joel

From the Adobe Captivate Help file:
Using third-party voices for speech text
You can purchase voices from third-party vendors and use them seamlessly in Adobe Captivate.
Note: Ensure that these voice comply with your operating system’s speech APIs.
Install the voices on your computers using the installers provided by the vendors. The new installed voices get listed in the Speech Agent list of the Audio > Speech Management dialog box.
I read that as YES.

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?
Cheers,
Nicholas

Point me to text to speech resolution problem

I'm running vista 64 bits in french with IE 8
When trying to convert a text to speech, captivate is unable to do so.
Thanks' for any input.

For anyone looking at a solution here it goes...
1. Close Captivate
2. Open command prompt "As administrator" on Vista . You can do this by locating cmd.exe - it will be typically in c:\windows\system32\cmd.exe - right click it - in menu you will see - "Run as administrator”. Click that. Say Continue to the dialog which comes.
3. In command prompt window go to the location where the nsaudio.dll resides ( you will need to have some knowledge of DOS command to navigate to the right folder) - Type "regsvr32 nsaudio.dll” and press Enter
4. Confirm that you got the success message.
5. Reopen Captivate - things should be fine
And in Vista you need to Run Adobe Captivate as administrator for some functionalities.
Hope it help others
P.s. Who knew we would need some old DOS trick to help solve vista 64 bits file registration...
