Adobe Captivate 7 TTS French Canadian MAN’s VOICE

Hello ALL,

I'm desperated... I've been looking over forums and stuff, on the web, and tested a few things, for more than 2 days now…

I NEED HELP !

I NEED a TTS French Canadian MAN’s VOICE… working with Captivate 7 [Please notice that the Premium and Chloe voices, from the NeoSpeech pack for Captivate 7, are just very, very, very, fine… but they are women…]

I reapeat myself, but I really NEED A FRENCH MAN’S VOICE !!!! (and if the voice is not Canadian : any kind of French speaking man voices, I insist, will do.
It doesn't bother's me anymore… can be France, Swedish, Morocco, …)

I bought Capitivate 7 to save time and to use the Text-to-Speech functionalities trought the slide's annotations.

My concept is not working at all !!!!!! [construction field teaching]

I work on a Mac with Mountain Lion [OS X 10.8.3] and I’ve already installed before installing Captivate 7, in my operating system :

• Canadian French Voices, which are : Félix and Julie,

And

• France Voices wich are : Audrey, Sebastian, Thomas and Virginie.

And disable Zarvox and all those shit… wich is remaining in Captivate 7 ????

Of course, I tried to put <whatever tags> in, but this is not working anymore in Captivate 7…

The major problem, is that my operating system voices doesn't appear in Captivate 7. Why ?

How can I make them appear ? Or use them ?

Is there's any Adobe stuff, or a third-party, free or not, that I can use for my client’s needs ?

I’ve noticed that Loquendo doesn’t exist anymore … they used to have a lot of differents languages to use with Captivate [they used to have a FRENCH MAN spoken]…

PLEASE HELP ME !!!!

Mel

    Since you already have the required voices installed on your system, check out Kimberly CBT's tips in this thread on how to get them to Captivate.

    Thanks,

    NeoSpeech seem to work on PC, not on a Mac.

    Their Voice Cloud service only offers English voices.

    In all the voices NeoSpeech offers, the only  French voice, is Chloe.

    Chloe is already installed with the language package for Captivate, and work´s well.

    Still can’t find a French MAN spoking voice to integrate directly into Captivate…

    Althought I found this (where there is two french man’s voices) : http://www2.research.att.com/~ttsweb/tts/demo.php

    But, needs to be generated on the web, then needs to be dowlaoded, then need to be imported into the project, and then must be synchronised into the timeline... 

    Thanks again and have a nice day
