Re: How to find special phrases/emotes...
That first chart you posted is exactly what I am looking for, but for Neospeech Julie or Ivona Salli. Doesn't sound like they exist though. It would be cool if TextAloud could somehow identify all the 'special tags' in a voice file, and list them in a dropdown somewhere. There must be some way to id...

Re: Very short {{Pause=0.01}}
Hmm looks like the problem may have been the voice. Neospeech Julie seems to work with {{Pause=0.001}}, Ivona Salli does not (there is no difference between {{Pause=0.001}} and {{Pause=0.1}}).
Is this a bug in TextAloud or the voice itself?

Very short {{Pause=0.01}}
I am trying to control the rate at which a sentence is read, and to make it sound more natural, I need to insert very slight pauses in between certain words. It looks like the {{Pause=X}} tag is limited in how low it can go. Is there some other way to add a very short (fraction of a second) delay be...

How to find special phrases/emotes...
So neospeech julie sometimes pronounces certain words with extra emotion (hi! for example). I have also used some other tts programs in the past which also had special emote tags like "\item=Laugh" which when read would actually sound like a person laughing. My question - how do you find o...

[Solved] How to remove pauses on new lines?
I have gone into Tools -> Pauses and Text insertion - and removed all pauses between paragraphs, however, Neospeech Julie still does a slight pause between lines. This is very annoying because when you convert a pdf to text, it adds tons of new lines everywhere. Example... This is an example "p...

Re: Manual control of pronunciation....
Is anyone aware of any other reader programs that work with neo speech voices? Seems like thats my only option at this point .

Re: Manual control of pronunciation....
Jim posted a example above In this case, I think I'd recommend starting with a dictionary entry that is very simple, and editing the entry as needed. The simplest thing you can do is use a simple text match instead of a regular expression, like this: Text Matching: Simple Text hey! Pronounce Using: ...

Re: Manual control of pronunciation....
Well I have been playing around with the regular expressions (thanks for all the tips) but unfortunately I cant seem to get any results that I couldn't already get with simple text match/replace. I still find it hard to believe that there is no way to control the pause in between words. Is the pause...

Re: Manual control of pronunciation....
Haven't had a ton of time to play with this, but not having much luck so far . If anyone can confirm that they have been able to successfully get the julie voice (or any voice with expressions) to use a expressive version of a word without effecting the rest of the sentence, please let me know!

Re: Manual control of pronunciation....
@PHenry1026 Wait, where do I paste that monster line of syntax? "(?#hey!)(?m)(?<=^|\s|['"‘“(]|\p{Pi}|\p{Ps}|\p{Pd})hey!(?!\s*?\r\n)(?= +(?-i)[a-z])" goes where? And where did you find the documentation for all these commands? Controlling the voices at this level is not possible from T...

Re: Manual control of pronunciation....
Hmm well I went to 'Tools->Pauses and text insertion' and removed the pause after sentences entry, but I still get pauses between sentences (just normal sentences). Is there some other setting I need to change in order to remove the auto pauses at the end of sentences? I am also noticing that some s...

Re: Manual control of pronunciation....
In an ideal world, It seems like the most elegant solution would be to have a tag (like <pause 15ms> or <pause 0ms>) that you could insert between words in TextAloud. That way, users would have direct control over the rhythm of sentences (for times when the auto generated pacing is a bit off). I gue...

Manual control of pronunciation....
Is there any way to manually control the way a particular word is pronounced in a sentence? For example, with the Julie voice, sometimes it might be nice to use a "Hey!" instead of typical boring "Hey". However, if you use "Hey!" in the middle of a sentence, you get a n...
