Hi,

I'm getting an error when I try to generate Text to Speech from within Speech Management in Captivate 5 running on Win XP sp3 (swedish).

When i click on Generate Audio I get the error: "Error occurred while generating Text to Speech Audio for Slide 1."

Error occurrs when using the Loquendo and Neospeech voices. Microsoft Sam works though...

Same installation on Windows 7 works just fine, all of the voices generates audio file without error. Unfortunately our clients are only allowed to run XP...

What am I doing wrong?

Hi There,

- What is the text that are you trying to convert to speech? Does that contain any non-english character?

- Is your project an upgraded one from an earlier Captivate version?

- Create a new project in Captivate 5 and insert single slide. Use this text - "This is adobe captivate" and try to convert it to speech using neo speech/loquendo voices. Does this work properly?

Your voice installation may be corrupted.

I had a similar, but different problem (Text To Speech (TTS) crashes captivate 5), but everyone worked after the update.

The only other time I had this problem was when I was trying to achieve a specific result and wound up messing up the voice installation.

Solution: delete the VT and Loquendo folders in your Adobe Captivate folder, and then reinstall the TTS packages.
