Text to Speech?

jwhite1347 · 04-27-2014, 10:27 AM

Am I the only one who cant figure out how to get it to work? Past two years I have never seen (heard actually) anything.. I have tried selecting every option including the experimental option... I am on a Mac if that matters? Any ideas?

Thanks

TTS only works for Windows.

Why is text-to-speech only available under Windows?

The Mac OS natively has text to speech capabilities. One easy way to try would simply require allowing the Mac users to access the PLAY-BY-PLAY window. By providing that the OS should read anything that is loaded into the PBP, just as it would for any basic text editing app.

Is there a proper way to request this trial? The standard system voice options on the Mac would be a suitable starting point.

PM Andreas, since it's his area of expertise.

It isn't very good, anyway. It doesn't sound natural.
