Speech Technology / Re: Zabaware Text-to-Speech Reader Beta
« on: March 04, 2014, 04:08:00 am »
CereProc voice install went flawless, it also detected that I already had Zabaware TTS Reader installed and installed the voice as an add-on.
voices ~do not~ show up in Ultra Hal 6.2, Balabolka TTS, Ivona Reader, nor Ivona miniReader
todays findings:
1. Display text and progress bar at times especially with larger amount of text can get out of synch.
2. ~I think~ I found a bug while saving to a sound file, Let me explain below.
I pasted text into text field and had the TTS read it to me, then I deleted the text. I then copied new text to the clipboard this time and had TTS read it to me. I then clicked
File / Convert text into Wave audio file
I played the saved audio file and it was not audio of clipboards text, but of previous text that was within text field.
3. Cloads finding still ongoing
Program feature suggestion:
allow reading and recording to start from courser placement. after I place text within text field I might have already had time to read first sentence or paragraph and might only want reading or recording to start from second paragraph or sentnce.

If you try to make a way file with the text above you will see that it will only record:also note: if only a portion of text is selected (say 2nd paragraph only out of 3 paragraphs total) and read then saved to an audio file, none of the selected 2nd paragraphs text gets recorded just the last/3rd paragraph.

That is because the tax is separated by a hard return.
