Text to speech in Storyline lessons

@Maurizio

Most programs (expect Loquendo TTS which will only see LOquendo voices) can use voices from other companies. E.g Text Aloud will see voices off  Acapel Telecom, AT&T, Microsoft and Loquendo

So, why does it matter that Loquendo is not in business anymore? You can still use their voices and the program.

I have not seen a more complete TTS application than Loquendo Director + SDK + API....and I would say that If you can't do it what you try to do with Loquendo...than I think it will be very hard to accomplish with another company.

2 things to add to my previous post:

1. http://www.loquendo.com/en/demo-center/interactive-tts-demo/  (simple demo of Loquendo)

2. Looking at the embedded expressions in Loquendo, which sound absolutely natural.....I would suspect that in a few years....we would just have 1.000.000 common phrases, expressions and word combination used very often...and with this we could make very easily, quickly and naturally sounding interactions for use in the quizzes.

I have a software called Iclone...and Crazy Talk..which both support TTS and the voices of AT&T and Loquendo etc..are automatically detected...it would be nice if Articulate Storline would have this capability (of directly incorporating  TTS) as well.

I have copied the text above into an Loquendo TTS Director and converted it into an MP3 file. No tags used and no alteration...so thequality isn't always great....but with some (non-time consuming) clean up and minimal tagging....it could sound a lot better
