SpokenText blog

We just deployed a new look for the secure portion of the site. Hopefully you find it cleaner and easier to use.

We have also made the recording of Voice tags optional. Just check the box for Respond to voice tags? if you want SpokenText to respond to voice tags you have placed into your text content. Note that if your voice tags are not well formed or you have text within your content which looks like a voice tag your recording will fail to be recorded.

If you notice any issues with this release please contact info@spokentext.net.

Thanks

There was an issue with our domain name renewal on Aug 28 2012 which made it impossible to access the site for around 6 hours or so. The site and our servers were still running fine but with the domain name not working know one could access it.

This is the first period of down time of any kind we have had in years. We take up time very seriously and will try to make sure that this type of issue never happens again.

Sorry for any inconvenience this might have caused. If you are still having issues reaching our site please try to clear your browser cache and restart your browser if it has been open for a while.

Want to create a dialog between two different voices talking. Maybe to hear your screen play or novel read to you?

Here is how you can do it:

Wrap the text you want in a different voice as follows.

<voice gender=”male, female, neutral” >...</voice>

For example:

Where do you want to eat tonight?

<voice gender=”female”> Let’s go for pizza </voice>

Listen to it

For this test I set my default voice in the list provided on the New Recordings tab to
Mike

This way you only have to put the tags around one of the talkers and not both.

Note: Recording of Voice tags optional. Just check the box for Respond to voice tags? if you want SpokenText to respond to voice tags you have placed into your text content. Note that if your voice tags are not well formed or you have text within your content which looks like a voice tag your recording will fail to be recorded.

I have not heard it yet on The LiVE 88.5 Start Up. I keep missing it. Life is very busy in the mornings when you have three little kids to get ready

But form what I have heard it came out well.
