mp3 audio for pronunciation editor

Post by muddas »

Thanks for this wonderful program. However I have a suggestion that it would be awesome to have a custom mp3 sound file which we can insert for a mispronounced word automatically. I hope you are understanding my thought.

Haven't tried this before, but there may be a way to do this. It is possible to embed audio clips in TextAloud text using a special audio clip tag. From the TextAloud main window, you can see how this works by selecting an article, and from the main menu, click Insert -> Audio Clip.

So in the pronunciation editor, you should be able to 'respell' a mispronounced word as an audio clip. In the respell field, you would specify the full path to an audio file like this:

{{Audio=C:\Users\Jim\My Sounds\My Audio Clip.mp3}}

Give that a try and see how it works.
