Speech Technology / Ultra Hal TTS Problem?
« on: March 11, 2010, 03:24:34 pm »
Hi, my apologies if this is in the wrong forum or I somehow missed the answer to this while sifting through the other topics.
I am looking for a decent Text-to-speech program mainly to use for listening to notes and online (text) lectures for school. The Ultra Hal TTS looks to be promising. I have downloaded the free version to get an idea of how it operates, but there are no voices listed in the program once I opened it. I tried to use some of the options such as the advanced speech for selected voice and pronunciations options. None seem to work. This could be because there are no voices to select in the drop down menu. I have read through and tried everything I could think of. So is it just because it's the free version and the basics are all that work until I purchase the full version? Or, could it be because I am running windows Vista Home Premium? Any thoughts and feedback will be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
