Is there a reference of Loquendo tags (\item=...)?

All the phrases are located as gilded GDE files in each installed voice directory of your Loquendo installation folder. (C:\Program Files (x86)\Loquendo\LTTS7\data\voices\)

For example, the phrases of Dave are in C:\Program Files (x86)\Loquendo\LTTS7\data\voices\Dave\DaveGilded.gde

I parsed these dictionary files to JSON and released them on GitHub a couple years back. GitHub - jochemstoel/loquendo-phrases: Loquendo LTTS7 phrases in JSON format.

I understand that this topic is 7 years old but the topic starter was looking for a reference list of 'Loquendo tags' and nobody ever answered the question.

The problem with umlauts is solved, this is the solution I received from Ashwin Bharghav (thanks again):

Steps:

1. Launch the speech management dialog and add a TTS

2. Select the German speaker “Stefan” and edit the TTS with the following tag

\@TextEncoding=utf8

3. Add another TTS and Add the text which you wish to convert (the one with umlaut characters) ( See the ScreenShot)

4. Generate speech.

I tested it for both German and French.

Hi robert-sfl,

Please have a look at the blog post : http://blogs.adobe.com/captivate/2010/08/editing-text-to-speech-text-for-loquendo-voices-in-captivate-5.html

Thanks

Evidently this is a coding issue. Some Umlauts are pronounced as complete nonsense. Perhaps Captivate converts the TTS-text from UTF8 to ANSI when it hands it over to the speech system. And it looks like nobody ever tested non-english TTS before releasing the program.

In both of these topics I am very interested too.
