Re: [Audyssey] Heather Voice in Mota Beta 8
Hi Bryan, Exactly. Not only was Sapi support problematic, but in the next version of the engine I'd have to drop Sapi support anyway. I'm currently, slowly but surely, developing a newer cross platform version of the Genesis Engine written in C++. Since the newer Genesis Engine is intended to be cross platform, Mac and Linux compatible, I have to cut out any Windows specific dependancies like Sapi, DirectX, etc. I'm not sure how it will turn out using SDL, FMOD, etc but we will see.Bottom line, I'll have to use prerecorded speech files for the cross platform games.

I refer of course to your attempt to run the game via Sapi itself so people could choose any of the voices installed on their own computers. I'm sure we both remember how well that worked out what with all the problems people seemed to be having with their Sapi installs.

Re: [Audyssey] Heather Voice in Mota Beta 8
Hi Bryan, Yeah, Crystal works out well for Sci-Fi games. Back when I began working on STFC 1.0 I initially used AT&T Crystal as the voice of the Enterprise's computer. Later I switched voices until I ended up using Scansoft Karen for version 1.2. Anyway, to make a long story short I've had several requests to go back to using AT&T Crystal for STFC 2.0, and I may just do that. She was fine for that particular game, but not necessarily great for every game. Bryan Peterson wrote: Crystal might be better in a sci-fi game but not in a game like MOTA as far as I'm concerned.

Hi, No, the version sold by Nextup.com is specifically built for Text Aloud, Weather Aloud, and their other programs. It doesn't work with anything but Nextup's products. I've tried Window Eyes, Jaws, and other programs and it doesn't work. To get the one that works with screen readers and stuff you have to get the version sold by the Acapela Group or the version that comes with the Infovox software. HTH Valiant8086 wrote: Hi.

Last year, when I was beginning Mysteries of the Ancients, I originally was going to have Cara Quinn cast in the roll of Angela Carter as well as the games narrator voice. She definitely had a good voice for the roll, was fairly decent voice talent, but we discovered using her for the entire game like that was a logistical nightmare. There were several problems. First, when we started out she didn't have her microphone setup properly so we did some test runs until we got the volume right, got it so it sounded good, and got her system set up correctly so what she recorded sounded the way I wanted it for the game. Then, she got a head cold or something and she couldn't do any voice work for me until she got over that. That caused a major delay just because of something that was out of our control, and that set me behind somewhat. Finally, when we got everything squared away, she was over the head cold, her computer was set up, and we were ready to start work her modeling schedule picked up. Since her day job obviously takes priority over the game we both decided it just was not worth the hastle. So I settled on Heather instead. As far as editing goes what files I did get from Cara took quite a bit of editing to get the way I wanted them. I had to trim them, take out any background microphone noise, etc. It was a serious pain in the butt. I realised as you did that using a Sapi voice is much much much easier to work with. Phil Vlasak wrote: Hi Thomas, I think people are confused when you use the Heather synthesized SAPI voice to record what is said in the game. To get a human to sound as consistent in rate, volume and lack of background noise would take weeks if not months of sound studio work instead of the few minutes to have the SAPI voice recorded to sound files. Plenty of people asked where I got the voices in my games so much that I finally made a list of them in the instructions. I think Heather was voted by a game magazine as the most popular voice.

Re: [Audyssey] Heather Voice in Mota Beta 8
Hi Phil, Yes, that was my experience as well. Last year, when I was beginning Mysteries of the Ancients, I originally was going to have Cara Quinn cast in the roll of Angela Carter as well as the games narrator voice. She definitely had a good voice for the roll, was fairly decent voice talent, but we discovered using her for the entire game like that was a logistical nightmare. There were several problems. First, when we started out she didn't have her microphone setup properly so we did some test runs until we got the volume right, got it so it sounded good, and got her system set up correctly so what she recorded sounded the way I wanted it for the game. Then, she got a head cold or something and she couldn't do any voice work for me until she got over that. That caused a major delay just because of something that was out of our control, and that set me behind somewhat. Finally, when we got everything squared away, she was over the head cold, her computer was set up, and we were ready to start work her modeling schedule picked up. Since her day job obviously takes priority over the game we both decided it just was not worth the hastle. So I settled on Heather instead. As far as editing goes what files I did get from Cara took quite a bit of editing to get the way I wanted them. I had to trim them, take out any background microphone noise, etc. It was a serious pain in the butt. I realised as you did that using a Sapi voice is much much much easier to work with. Phil Vlasak wrote: Hi Thomas, I think people are confused when you use the Heather synthesized SAPI voice to record what is said in the game. To get a human to sound as consistent in rate, volume and lack of background noise would take weeks if not months of sound studio work instead of the few minutes to have the SAPI voice recorded to sound files. Plenty of people asked where I got the voices in my games so much that I finally made a list of them in the instructions. I think Heather was voted by a game magazine as the most popular voice.

Re: [Audyssey] Heather Voice in Mota Beta 8
Hi Bryan, Yeah. Unfortunately it is not always possible to come by actual human speech for games though. For one thing getting the person to record, rerecord, his/her voice over and over again to get it right is very tiring work. Then, there is lots of editing required to make it as smooth and seamless as possible. That's why I chose a voice like Heather which seams to be a happy medium. Not too synthetic, and human enough to work well in a game. Plus much less editing and work involved. Bryan Peterson wrote: Exactly. And that's one thing my fiance and I intend to keep in the forefront if and when we work together on games.

Re: [Audyssey] Heather Voice in Mota Beta 8
Hi Bryan, Smile. I have no plans on changing voices at this point. If I didn't like Heather I wouldn't have used her for the game. It is a decent voice, and I can't please everyone when it comes to TTS voices anyway. For example, I know several people that love Eloquence. As for me I am no fan of the voice. I use it for programming, work mostly, but can't stand it for anything else.I especially can't stand it reading books from Book Share or books I've scanned myself. Ug!
