Re: program to turn text files into audio files but using eloquence

2011-09-22 Thread David Tanner
Well, an easy way to accomplish what you want would be to take the text file 
into either DocuScan Plus and have it make a MP3 of the document or you 
could also use OpenBook to do this too as long as you use Eloquence as your 
default synthesizor.

Hi all,
I don't use biblos, but I'm Italian. I went on its author website and I read
the last version of biblos is not free, but here's one that is, always on
his website.
http://www.digrande.it/pages/download/download.asp?file=biblosfree.
It says between the supported languages there's English aswell.
Again, I don't use this software, but I hope that helped.

Hi!

Isn't there a tool in Goldwave that does this? It uses the default
SAPI speech engine or you can choose from amongst multiple SAPI voices
if you have multiple voices installed.

There used to be a bit of software called biblos I am not sure I have

Anyway this software used the eloquence from Jaws,  it will not use

Hi all



I know there are several programs that would allow you to turn text
files into audio files in mp3 format using the  sapi voices on the

computer.


However, I find the very odd phrasing of especially the realspeak
voices a bit difficult to understand.



Hence my question:  Has anyone ever written such a programme which
turns text files into audio files using the Eloquence speech
synthesizer?  That would also mean if you e.g. like the british
voice, it then uses the british voice as it is already installed on
your

computer?


Just curious.

 The interface was also in Italian if I remember correctly.

 But it would still be usuable with a bit of practice.

 There used to be a bit of software called biblos I am not sure I have 
 the spelling correct.

 Anyway this software used the eloquence from Jaws,  it will not use 
 any other voices on your computer just jaws I used to use this but no 
 longer use it.  it did work well Google it and you might still get it.

 Hi Andre
 If you install the trial version of k1000 (kurzweil reader) you get 
 eloquence. If you then use balabolka you can convert text to a .mp3 
 with the jaws Reid voice. I do not know about the UK english Reid voice.

 Hi all



 I know there are several programs that would allow you to turn text 
 files into audio files in mp3 format using the  sapi voices on the
 computer.

 However, I find the very odd phrasing of especially the realspeak 
 voices a bit difficult to understand.



 Hence my question:  Has anyone ever written such a programme which 
 turns text files into audio files using the Eloquence speech 
 synthesizer?  That would also mean if you e.g. like the british 
 voice, it then uses the british voice as it is already installed on 
 your
 computer?

 Just curious.
