Text to Speech

Question

I keep hearing wonderful presentation that proport to be created using text-to-speech as opposed to a live voice. Mine all sound like a computer generated voice, which all my test groups hate. What is the secret to creating text-to-speech that sound like a "real" person? is it even posssible? BTW, my preference would be to have a middle age female voice.

Any assistance would be greatly appreciated

Hello,If you have problem with proper diction and pronounciation of certain words then a trick could be to spell the word the way you would like it to be pronounced . For Example -- "VOICE" can written as "VOYC" to improve pronounciation and also use DOT '.' for providing pauses appropriately. You would always have an option to record your voice and then you can decide the accent, emotions, prononciation and rate of speech. There are a total of 6 Voices (3 female) available for Text to Speech as part of Neo and Loquendo. If you have not tested all, download the Captivate 5 voices from here --http://kb2.adobe.com/cps/908/cpsid_90804.htmlFor Captivate 5.5 --https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/tdrc/index.cfm?product=captivateSign-in with your Credentials -- Click on the OS next to TTS and it would download Voices.See if it helps?Thanks,Anjaneai
