a Function that accepts array of words with an interval time in Client API

Mohammad Hoseinifar 6 years ago in SitePal Platinum updated by Gil Sideman 6 years ago 3

Is in Client API a function that accepts an array of words like

var names = ['Tom','Sara','Jack']

and time interval like 2 mls

and make a video with a character witch says this words with this time gap

for example Tom (2 mls wait) Sara (2 mls wait) ....

Hello Mohammad - 

There is no such API option, but you can use the API function sayText, and in the text include appropriate tags to make the speech engine pause between the words.

The simplest solution is to use commas or periods as separators between the names. This will introduce a pause. 

But if you want to precisely control the length of the pause then you need to use the SSML Break tag.

I can't post an example here - because the forum is designed to strip such tags, but please look in the Client API document, appendix B. See the examples at the bottom of page 36, and look for how the 'time' parameter is used to sepcify the precise length of the break in milliseconds.

Hope this helps,

Gil

Hi Arin - 

This has been implemented.


In the embed code, the 6th parameter (marked in orange in the code example) - governs whether controls would be displayed or not - change the 1 to 0 to hide controls.

AC_VHost_Embed(16187,450,600,'',1,1, 243560, 0,1,0,'a855d1dbf265f74a3d91c5b3ef2058a9',0);

For a full body character (embed syntax is different) change the parameter 'ct=1' to 'ct=0'

Example:

Hope this helps - lmk if any problem is encountered.

Best,

Gil

Issue with sayText

arin 7 years ago in SitePal Platinum updated by Gil Sideman 6 years ago 21

Hi,


Our sitepal ID is: 6745697, we are in our trial period.


sayText was working fine till we are working with simple text like, "Hello There" or "How are you"


Today while we test using a bit large text 

"Hi Arin, Welcome to Cleard Life. I am stefanie. Your interview will start shortly"


it falls short. We are getting this error continuously.

Please suggest...we are out of time.

We experienced a problem this morning with one of our database clusters. The system is designed to be failsafe, with an automated failover mechanism built-in. Unfortunately the failover did not kick in this time & our team had to manually address the problem.

We are still investigating why this happened & how to better mitigate should this happen again - and will implement improvements as needed.

Apologies for the inconvenience this has caused.

"Unlimited" streams

François 7 years ago in SitePal Platinum updated by Gil Sideman 6 years ago 4

Hello,


For years I've perfected a text-to-speech solution for use with unlimited streams (Platinum formula).
I just realized that in your general conditions you mention:
"The SitePal product online supports up to 5 competitor end users at any given time."
This limitation does not appear, unless I am mistaken, in your web page http://www.sitepal.com/packages/
This limitation clearly makes all my projects impossible to market and use.
So far a great loss of time and money.


For example, I have a large university that would like to incorporate text-to-speech into its training web pages.
It has 1,000 students so 1,000 potential simultaneous users while you limit simultaneous streams to 5!
You will easily understand that they will never be able to subscribe to a Platinum formula ($ 2500 per year).
And I can not offer them my own tools.
This kind of limitation existed technically a few years ago but today, with the dedicated cloud, the virtual machines that just need to be duplicated, the load balancing and flows to the Internet for example of 1.5 Gbps, these limits are they technically justified?
You should offer your customers a Platinum + formula with a number of simultaneous streams that is a multiple of a thousand (5,000 or 10,000) or streams in batches at a competitive price but for simulated streams for example of 5,000 or 10,000
Looking forward to reading you
cordially

Bonjour,

Depuis des années je perfectionne une solution de text-to-speech en vue d'une utilisation avec des streams illimités (formule Platinum).

Hors je viens de me rendre compte que dans vos conditions générales vous mentionnez:

" The SitePal Product purchased online supports up to 5 concurrent end users at any given time."

Cette limitation ne figure pas, sauf erreur de ma part, dans votre page Web http://www.sitepal.com/packages/

Cette limitation rend clairement tous mes projets impossibles à commercialiser et à utiliser.

Donc à ce jour une grande perte de temps et d'argent.

Par exemple j'ai une grande université qui souhaiterait intégrer le text-to-speech dans ses pages Web de formation.

Elle compte 1.000 étudiants donc 1.000 utilisateurs potentiels simultanés alors que vous limitez les streams simultanés à 5 !

Vous comprendrez aisément qu'ils ne pourront jamais s'abonner à une formule Platinum (2500$ par an).

Et moi, je ne peux pas leur proposer mes propres outils.

Ce genre de limitation existaient techniquement il y a quelques années mais aujourd'hui, avec le cloud dédié, les machines virtuelles qu'il suffit de dupliquer, le load balancing et des flux vers Internet par exemple de 1,5 Gbps, ces limites sont-elles techniquement justifiées?

Il faudrait proposer à vos clients une formule Platinum + avec un nombre de streams simultanés qui soit un multiple du millier (5.000 ou 10.000) ou proposer des streams payants par lots à un tarif compétitif mais pour des streams simutanés par exemple de 5.000 ou 10.000

Dans l'attente de vous lire

Cordialement
