Question about TTS responses.
« on: October 15, 2023, 06:00:06 AM »
Hello,
   I just purchased Voice Attack and I am using it in Elite Dangerous.
On the videos I watched, there were voice responses to commands given in the game. I have gotten commands to work as well as standard text to speech voice through windows (which is terrible). But I was under the impression that voice attack had some voices that were for Elite Dangerous. I know that there is another company that makes voice packs from famous people but I was simply wanting a TTS voice that sounded like it actually fit in the game itself. (That sounds like its coming from in the ship like it did in the videos on youtube.) Is there something I am missing or somewhere I need to go to get them?

This user-created plugin may be of interest


There are also commercial, locally processed text-to-speech engines/voices from certain third-party providers:
Quote from: Exergist on the VoiceAttack Discord
3rd Party Text-to-Speech Voices
NextUp
AT&T Natural Voices = https://nextup.com/attnv.html
Ivona Voices = https://nextup.com/ivona/ (multi-voice packs available)
Harpo Software (free trial and multi-voice packs available)
Ivona Voices = https://harposoftware.com/en/2-main/s-1/index/brand-ivona/category-single_voices
Nuance Voices = https://harposoftware.com/en/2-main/s-1/index/brand-nuance/category-single_voices
CereProc
CereProc Voices = https://www.cereproc.com/en/storesapi (see customizable demo at top of page)

Note that 100% compatibility is not guaranteed since these are 3rd party after all. You assume full responsibility for what happens to your PC if you employ any of these voices. If you encounter issues with any voices we'll update this list to reflect it.


VoiceAttack can natively utilize text-to-speech voices that adhere to Microsoft's SAPI standard, like the commercial voices mentioned above, or that are provided via Speech Platform 11 (though it's either one or the other; not both at the same time).
