Re: SAPI 4

Just curious... was there ever any follow up on the idea of creating 'libraries' of predefined phrases? If not by the company, any chance of implementing (if not already present) the ability to import/export libraries created by users? I would imagine there are a lot of useful 'libraries' of predefi...

Language and voice

I apologize in advance for the dumb (possibly amusing) question. I am using NextUp Talker and trying to find the perfect (for me) voice. I have found a lot of voices available associated with various languages. My question is... if I download and install voices associated with languages other than E...

Re: managing voices

Thank you very much. Very helpful. I downloaded a bunch of voices and did not care for most of them yet they always appeared in the drop down box. Very nice to not see them any longer.

Re: How to move NextUp Talker to a new machine

Jim, this is great information. Thanks for posting. It brings up a question, though, since the phrases.chl file contain the phrases in our program.... is it possible to share phrases with another user? For example, if someone developed a good 'tree of phrases' to be used when conducting various type...

Re: Voice control

Thank you - I suspect the Advanced Pronounciation Editing with Phonemes might be a good place to incorporate that. Maybe something as simple as an upward inflection for a question mark.. just an idea, I am sure your speech scientists will do better than that.

Pronunciation Editor

Does anyone have any guidance on how this is used? The help file does not make any reference to it at all (unless I missed it). The Pronunciation Editor seems to be a powerful tool. Especially the 'Advanced Pronounciation Editing with Phonemes' yet the help file is silent on this.

managing voices

I have a bunch of voices I don't want... robot voices and such. How can I delete them or uninstall them so I don't have to see them when I open the voice drop down window?

Re: Voice control

Thanks for the reply Jim. The reason I asked about question marks influencing speech is because I saw a demo on youtube of a guy using TextAloud and he was able to change voice inflection by inserting punctuation. Is there any chance that could be considered for a future enhancement? Oh, I appreciat...
