View 4 RepliesI have several text files that I would like to have Text to Speech read for me. However the software does not pause at natural breaks like normal speech. For instance after commas, periods, end of paragraphs, etc. Are there control codes that I can put in my text files to cause the software to pause? I can edit my files accordingly but I can't seem to locate control codes.

In specific I wanted the voice of the computer in Portal. You know, that whole the cake is a lie thing.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI am trying to convert a text file to an audio file by using 'text to speech'. Originally, the text was created in Pages but just in case I also saved it as an rtf file. I want to save it as an mp3. Also, once I've got the workflow, I would like to use this again with other text files. I know I can save the workflow and I can do the task by Automator, but I must be doing something wrong. Should I use the 'record' function? What am I doing wrong? I called AppleCare but of course, after 15 minutes they recommended their online discussions. They don't know anything about these basics. The guy asked me, what I tried. I told him that I tried Terminal, but I was confident that Automator and creating a workflow would be the solution for me. He didn't even know where Automator was. I suppose, this was the last time that I purchased an AppleCare.

There are hours and hours of talks and I'm looking for software that will help make my job easier. OS X comes with some very good text to speech capabilities. Is there any capability to do speech to text on OS X? It would be great if there were free/cheap shareware products that do this task.
View 7 Replies View RelatedI am working on a project where I am having my wife's grandmother telling her life story into a digital audio recorder which creates WMA audio files that play fine in QuickTime with Flip4Mac installed. I want to have these files transcribed into text. She speaks clearly so I think a speech-to-text program may do the job for the most part and do some manual touch up afterward. Can anyone recommend what I should use for this job? The only program I know of is MacDictate/MacSpeech. That's $150+ so that's out of the question. Is their anything out there that works and won't break the bank?

Tutorials online discuss changing a setting in the VoiceOver Utility, but unfortunately this only effects voice over and not text-to-speech.

I’m trying to use OS X Mavericks to dictate a note to my laptop. I clicked System Preferences from the Apple icon, then Accessibility button and then Speakable Items. After that I clicked Settings, but I don’t know how to TURN ON Speakable Items, which I see selected. I went on to press Listening Key on the Feedback window and said, “Hello, what’s happening?” I didn’t see it as typed text anywhere, as I expected to. I also selected “Open Speech Commands.” Again nothing happened!

I am on vacation and my future roommate received a lease that I also need to return to the landlord. He said it would be no problem to get it to me, and now I have 6 jpeg files.I have to send these to a bank first so I need an application that can take the text out of pictures. That's it.
View 9 Replies View RelatedI was hoping that somebody could recommend a good advanced text list editing application, that I could use to edit a massive text list that I have, in which there is both a leading space and a trailing space at the beginning and end of every item in my text list, which I am trying to get rid of. Normally, I would use Microsoft Word's Find/Replace feature to replace a particular text character with a different character of my choosing, however, if I were to try and use this feature to remove every space in my document, it would also mess things up quite a bit by removing spaces that exist correctly between the words for various items in my text list. How I could go about accomplishing this task?

I try to 'calibrate' it and have repeated the stupid lines time after time, clearly and slowly in a quiet environment, but they never flash or indicate that it is calibrated.
How many of you use the Speech Recognition built into the iMac? And of those who do use it, do you use the built in mic or do you use a 3rd party microphone?
Interested in Speech Pathologists who use facetime for speech therapy. In particular, I am interested in communication issues with people with mental retardation who can access facetime, but have intelligibility issues.

View 3 Replies View RelatedI'm looking for a good microphone to use the speech settings in Mac OSX, I'm not sure if the Mac Pro comes with one built in or not, but either way, it can't hear me. So I'm wondering if anyone knows of a good quality one, perhaps one that simply clips on to the screen, or plugs into a USB slot on the screen, so I can talk to my Mac?

View 3 Replies View RelatedA couple of weeks ago I saw a video on CNet demonstrating new features of Snow Leopard. One of them shown was in Safari. He showed that you could highlight text on a page, right-click on it and select to add the text to Mail as a note or send it to iTunes as speech. I don't see either of these options. Did Apple remove this?
