Moving from Ivona Reader to TextAloud?

Post by molitar »

I have quite the lexicon built for Ivona Reader right now but I see they have discontinued it so looking to use my lexicon from it. I have a paid for version of TextAloud but due to the reason of the work I put in Ivona Reader I been using that one still.

There is a lot of entries and custom settings that need to be modified and changed. As you can see from the list below. I could never figure out how to use these type of lexicon's IPA or the sound pronunciations with TextAloud.

Code: Select all

I'm sorry but we currently don't have any way to import your custom pronunciations into TextAloud's pronunciation editor.

With the few IPA entries that I have under the PLS option in Ivona Reader, it seems that Ivona voices pick up these pronunciation corrections before being applied in TextAloud. It might therefore be worth checking whether your pronunciation edits are working in TextAloud with the Ivona voices. You could then simply add any new edits inTextAloud.
