Speech Technology / How do I add a Cepstral voice to Ultra Hal?

« on: March 03, 2010, 05:14:04 pm »

Just tried uninstalling Ultra Hal and reinstalled it again, then rebooted. Still no Cepstral Callie voice in the voice drop down menu of Ultra Hal. Not sure what else to try.

Yes I downloaded Callie just a few days ago and it's unregistered. Thought I'd try it out and see how I liked it before actually purchasing it.

I was able to go into 'control panel' where I found a 'text to speech' icon. I found all the voices of Hal in there and also so was Callie. I selected Callie from there as my computer's default voice and was hoping that did the trick but when I start Hal again, it reverts back to one of Hal's old voices.

The computer is an emachine brand, not sure of it's speed or  memory but it's quite new so it should have enough. I'm using Vista OS.

Yes I did install the voice in it's default directory (Callie). I see it also installed 'SwiftTalker' at the same time.

So I assume Callie (the newly installed vice) should have automatically showed up in voice selection menu of Ultra Hal? I don't know, maybe I need to reinstall Hal again? Hal does seem to work fine on this computer without problems. Just can't get the new voice to show up anywhere.

I'm using Ultra Hal test to speech reader. I downloaded one of the Cepstral voices from their web site. It's not yet a registered voice as I wanted to try it out first. How do I get the Cepstral voiced to show up in the Ultra Hal voice selection menu? I thought it would show up after installing the Cepstral voice to my computer but it did not. How do I import it? Or do I first have to register the voice?

Any help much appreciated.

Thanks
