Narrator: Text-to-speech

Hi all

I need a narrator who works in offline mode in windows 8.0 Surface RT can you provide documents or links for this?

Hello fredo.

Narrator is a screen reader that reads text on the screen aloud and describes the events as the error messages for you can use your PC without screen.

This is a built-in feature which comes pre-installed with Windows. This app works offline (without internet connection).

See the article provided in my previous answer to know more about the Narrator Windows and how to use it.

I hope that answers your question. If you have problems with Windows, please post in the Microsoft Community. We would be happy to help you.

  • The word text to speech recognition works not

    Hello

    I installed a program called natural reader, which reads the text using different voices, so that you can hear what is on the page rather than just read it. I just bought the program and I can't get the voice to work. I contacted the company and they told me to go to the Control Panel/Speech Recognition and fix it on my computer because it is a computer problem.

    So when I click on speech recognition, Text to Speech (I have Windows 8 is told by the way) - and I click on the button "Preview Voice", he does not play the text at all as it is supposed to do. If I click on the audio button, speech/headset is checked. But I see there are two points lower than who say THAT NVIDIA and both say they are "not connected." And when I click on the Advanced button, "use preferred audio output device" checked. And "DT speakers/headphones high definition" is the only thing available.

    As I said, I don't know much at all about computers, but I'll add this part, just in case it might have something to do with it. I noticed that this red warning icon appears next to my videos and things like that in my files. Its something that was not there before. When I look in my windows applications he says only he X Box. I also noticed that when I open all my apps to show, little red X Box icon has one of my videos here instead of the app icon is red, which is weird, I think that? Sure on that note. In any case, I installed the windows classic interface, so I can't watch all softs tiles all the time on my desktop with windows 8 because I find boring. So I don't really know much about the apps anyway. But it's just that I did a complete system restore on my computer recently and that was not there before, at least, it was not associated with my videos. So I was wondering if this has nothing to do with the thing of the voice does not work in speech recognition? As I maybe the wrong thing associated with sound or something? I also noticed on my desk there is an icon called "Connected Music Powered by Universal Music Group" and when I clicked it, nothing happened.

    Can anyone help please?

    Thanks, Claudia

    Hi Claudia,.

    It seems that the settings are correct in the text to speech Audio settings.  I understand that the speech/headset is checked (default device).  You can try to speakers as default device (green check mark on the speaker) and check if you are able to hear the text when you click voice overview through the PC speakers.

    See the article:
    Accessibility in Windows 8
    http://www.Microsoft.com/enable/products/Windows8/default.aspx

    In addition, the red outline that you see when you click on applications, video files seems to be the Narrator running in background.

    Turn off narrator and check the issue:
    Office, press Windows + U .
    Click Spie Narrator.
    Click Exit Narrator.

  • Text-to-speech must be used in moderation?

    Due to problems of size of final publication for Adobe Captivate files, text-to-speech use sparingly?

    I used narrative extensively in my drawings of e-learning for years. I usually keep my free quiz questions of narrative, but about all the other slides in my classes include.

    It has been my experience that other media such as videos or a too high resolution images, are what usually slows down a course. Of course the new Captivate 9.0.2 must solve some of these issues with the effectiveness of improved performance.

  • Text to speech: is it legal to use the output into something else that "for personal use?

    I'm looking for some legal specific information about the licenses on the function 'Generate the word' hearing.

    Screen Shot 2016-05-06 at 3.05.31 PM.png

    I found some info here: generate speeches | Adobe Audition but I'm not quite clear on what can or cannot be done. It States, in part:

    "Your operating system has probably some voices already installed for you, which are usually for personal use only and is not allowed for use in commercial projects... »

    My question is 2 times:

    1. when he says "generally" is it legal (I suppose that Apple or shade) that can expand on this statement?

    2. by 'commercial' which covers the distribution (i.e., creating an MP3 of the voice of Samantha and sell) as well as the use in everything will be for sale or public consumption?  There is another line in the quoted doc which suggests to use to "interesting transitions and narration, or to be used in the design of the game."

    The specific use case with which I am afraid would use a voice generated on a piece of hardware, which, at the start, would be to say 'Hello!' via an mp3 of the voice - it is not a product of speech synthesis.

    Thank you for your time!

    When I was developing this feature (thanks to try), I found this question online: audio - are copyrighted by the text to speech voice Apple? - ask different

    Which lead me to go to the license agreements of real software for OS X (Apple - legal - software). You'll probably want to go yourself, choose your version and the search for "voice". You will see a similar snippet of the thread above.  Since you're screenshot is on OS X and the voice you use is provided by the operating system, I think it would be the authority in this situation.  Hearing is simply to expose functionality in a practical way.

    If you register a third-party voice (I think that we have links to some sellers on our help page), it should work in hearing. I know that I've tested several.  For this particular voice, you'll want to make sure you get a license for what is your destination.

  • How to pause the text to speech

    Hi all

    I m new text at the speech and generally enjoyed apple hear the text of PDF files, but do not know how to take a break between the two. I need the shortcut on the way to regain the text after a few breaks in between if I missed something. Y at - he of the shortcuts that I can use.

    I am currently using air Macbook Os X EL Capitan(Version 10.11)

    Kind regards

    Sangeet

    In v5.6.1 Pages and releases from previous pages, the text-to-speech feature can pause via the Edit: speech: stop talking about the menu item. However, speech will take not from where it was suspended, but at the beginning of the document, or text selection. No solution for that.

    However, you can create a script Automator single action that will transform all text selected in a Pages document in an audio file on the desktop. That support good break and resume simply control-click audio file icon.

    1. In your Dock, click on Launchpad (rocket icon)
      1. Select other, and then the Robot Automator.
    2. When the launches of Automator, select New Document: Service: choose
    3. Locate the music library from the Automator library entries
      1. Drag and drop the text to the Audio file action to the right in the bigger window of workflow
      2. Drag and drop the encoding to MPEG Audio action below the previous action
      3. Use the settings in the screenshot accompanying as a guide. I have deliberately omitted an extension of file name for the audio file to the output of the first action it will be applied after the conversion in the second action.
      4. Now, the file menu: Save... and in my case, I gave the name of Service as text2voice.
      5. Quit Automator
    4. In System Preferences: keyboard Panel: shortcuts: Services, scroll down until you see the entrance to text2voice and check to make it active.
    5. In the Pages, select as much text you want to listen to, and then in the Pages menu: Services: text2voice - send text selected to the audio file.
    6. Click the controls to play/pause/repeat on the icon of the audio file, resulting.

    Click the following command to expand the service described above.

    How can I turn off text to speech that I turned it on to listen to the voice and now there seems to be no way to turn it off

    Hello

    Follow the steps below to disable text to speech in Windows Vista.

    (a) go to the section on your main screen where you see the time displayed.

    (b) it is called the "bar", all kinds of small icons are visible here, there's even a gadget of the small arrow that would normally point to the right if you have a lot of programmes to help you use windows.

    (c) "left click on"the small arrow in a circle - this will expand the list to display small icons, drip slowly mouse over the bar of 'system' in order to launch a pop - up of each icon, once you reach the icon that says something like "text to speech tool","make a clique right".

    (d) a pop-up list appears showing what options are available - option whatever go to "Properties" or "settings", "click on" this element gives.

    (e) a new Panel will appear - in select here the article that says something like "launch on startup", it should have a box next to it, that will be ticked or marked in some way - "click" this element so that it seems to be clear and followed by the button "apply" "click" the button "OK" - which should solve your problem.
