Question

Is it possible to use other text-to-speech voices with Captivate 7 or 8?

I found another neospeech voice (James) that I would prefer to use for our recordings.  Is it possible to import other voices into Cp?  What "format" is required if purchasing other voices?

Thanks in advance.

Hello,

Adobe has prepared this https://helpx.adobe.com/captivate/using/slide-notes.html >>> see "Install text to speech converters" or "Using third-party voices for speech text" and "Convert slide notes to speech or closed captioned text "

Thanks for the link, Hans-Gunter.  Unfortunately, I was hoping for a more specific answer related to using another neospeech voice.  The initial installation of the voices was not as smooth as I would have hoped (and have seen this happen for others here) so I was hoping to hear from someone who might have augmented the selection themselves.

Tja, it looks like that there are no other possibilities as I sent you in the link from above. The more you will search, the more you will find it confirmed.

Here a quote of https://forums.adobe.com/message/5717880 >>> "To be honest, we are pretty satisfied with the outcome of Neospeech, so we never thought of any additional voices. In case you are not aware, you can use VTML tags and user dictionary to improve the voice quality."
