Text to Speech software
Can anyone recommend a good "Text to Speech" software that you have used with Articulate? We are looking for a software that sounds as close to a real voice as possible.
Thanks, Joy
Our Speech-Over Professional text to speech software (www.speechover.com) adds professional e-learning narration fast to PowerPoint based e-learning and training - saving course development time and costs. Speech-Over works with Articulate Presenter as well as with iSpring and Camtasia.
Ordinary text-to-speech applications can only read the text on the PowerPoint slide; Speech-Over does a lot more: the user enters narration texts that describe and explain individual text bullet and graphic objects on the slide like a real presenter would. The texts are stored off-screen. When an object is animated in the slide show, Flash, or video, Speech-Over speaks its narration text in perfect sync. The result has the learning impact of a live presentation.
A text-based audio editor can adjust the diction, inflection and phrasing of the voices - eliminating the pronunciation problems that Mike refers to in his article above.
Speech-Over Professional includes two voices from Acapela-Group with a commercial license.
I invite you to try it.
