French English Tutor

[sandyn]

I am creating a French/English tutor and I need to be able to switch between French and English Pronunciation, as I run through the word in English and the French translation. If I get a French voice, French words will be pronounced correctly, but how do I toggle Text Aloud between French and English?? I am copying text to the clipboard in my software, is there a tag I can add to select the correct voice?

Thanks

You can use edit, insert voice change, withing the TA menu. you will have to do that at the beginning of each contextual change.

Thanks,
I don't want the user to have to change the voice. I think I have found how it is done. I have to embed the command to change the voice <voice required="name = Crystal16"> at the start of my text which is copied to the clipboard. This is relatively easy for me to do.
Thanks for your help

What I did for similar tasks and the German language was to go to the Pronunciation editor and define things like

EN_F
<voice required="name = Crystal16">

DE_M
<voice required="name = premium_male_german_voice">

(DE=Deutschland / Germany)

So now I can enter my voice changes quickly and in a way that is easy for me to remember.
A male English voice? EN_M
A female Spanish voice? SP_F
and so on....

And if I decide to change from male to female or vice versa, a simple search and replace does the trick. Another plus is that the voice changes no longer clutter up the screen or take up so much screen space.
