A quick look at text to speech in Adobe Captivate 5

Got 4 minutes? In this rapid fire overview I introduce the new Text-To-Speech voices in Adobe Captivate 5, and demonstrate them in use. It includes localization to French and German with new voices for each along with a new British English voice. Also included, the new ability to draw any voice already installed on the system of the computer creating the Captivate project.

I want to know is there any way to make the captions in captivate 5 to "text to speech"?

@nicetoseethis - Great question Nice. Just to clarify, i believe Nice is referring to the 'Text Captions' or on screen text. The short answer is not as easily as you would probably like. The longer answer is - are you sort of looking for a way to bypass a reader like JAWS - and make the on screen content read aloud at some point for the visually impaired? This is the use-case i can imagine. First, i should point out that it's Jaws compatible by default - and you can control the text using the PI

That's not "British English" you arrogant fool. It's "English".

What is it with you North Americans thinking your "version" is somehow on par with proper English?

I have a question for you but first i have to say; Thank you for your courses on Captivate 5! i They are excellent! Not too fast not too slow, clear and easy to understand. Best of all i didnt get bored to death thank you.

My question is where and how can i get Spanish Text-to-Speak voices? And how do i install them? If you can also refer me to how to get them in Italian that would be great but Spanish is my priority.

thank you again. I'm looking forward to more of your quality work.

@AdobeELearning :

thanks a lot for the info!

actually I want to bypass the process of manual recording for all the text captions.

I found the option where slide notes can be made audible.but how to go about making Caption text audible?

I have to use SWF of the captivate file which ultimately be linked to an LMS

Hi, do the new voices (Loquendo) have the same ability to edit the voice dictionary as the Cp4 NeoSpeech voices? I need to customise pronunciation and include acronyms in the the dictionary.

Hi, I am only seeing one voice: MIcrosoft Sam. How do I install other voices?
