Hello

 

Neospeech agents do a good job overall, but is it OK to use them in professional eLearning projects, Or, is it prefereable by the eLearning community to hear the author's voice only?  Is it ok to have a mix of authors voice and the neospeech agent's voice?.  What is the trend and best practice? Any pointers is much appreicated.

 

Thanks.

    Only when in a hurry will I use TTS. In most cases it will be for a short tutorial. I will never use TTS for professional eLearning projects, because audio quality is very important and you'll never achieve the flexilibility and engaging tones of a human voice. This is just my personal opinion, maybe influenced by my 'other' career as professional musician.

    I use the Neospeech voices to check the overall timing of a course module but I never use it for final voiceover.  They're not bad but still sound too mechanical to replace a good human voice.

     

    I would only suggest using them if you do not have access to anyone on your project that could do good voiceover.
