Text to Speech
Is there a plan to upgrade the voices for text-to-speech? Vyond upgraded, and it makes a big difference.
Thank you,
Michele
Just an FYI if anyone is using the built-in text-to-speech for languages other than English, even with the new neural voices we ran into some issues that are easily fixed but can be avoided if you know about them.
In the English text-to-speech, you can include things like ™ and colons, these will not be said when you generate the speech, but we have noticed in the Spanish (LA) speech for example, the generated speech seems to say everything. So trademark symbols and colons specifically we had a bit of a nightmare with, having to manually remove them so they wouldn't be said. No big deal, but can save you time if you know there are differences in how the English speech is generated vs other languages.
Hi John!
Thanks for taking the time to share that with the community! I'm sure other Text-to-Speech users will find the feedback very helpful!
Have a great start to your week and happy developing!
