Does your TTS program privide speed control function?

Winstone Choi 11 years ago in SitePal Studio • updated by Sumit 11 years ago • 1
2. Second one is speed control function. My customers are mostly Korean elementary school students who wish to learn English as a foreigh language. So English sentences should be read slowly to beginners.If your TTS program provides Speed Control function, that would be very helpful to us.

Valencian and Catalan are the same language

puigvertm 14 years ago in SitePal Studio • updated by Gil 14 years ago • 2
Dear colleagues i like your site but there is an error in your languages drill down options. Valencian and catalan are the same language. In fact Valencian is a catalan dialect as it can be the argentinian or mexican spanish (well represented in the selection options). So if you want to be philologically rigorous you should have the two languages (valencian and catalan) related in the same selection option.
kind regards

Marc -
We updated our list of languages to correctly reflect that Valencian is a dialect of Catalan.
Thanx for calling our attention to it.

Is There A Marketplace For Third Party Solutions?

Mark Century 12 years ago in SitePal Studio • 0
Does OddCast provide a SitePal marketplace where third party solutions can be listed?

For example, I have developed an extensive, feature rich SDK that enables SitePal to be used within Microsoft Silverlight applications.

Lakshmi Narayanan 3 years ago in SitePal Studio • updated 3 years ago • 3

I have embedded sitepal into my project Website. However, I have issues when I try to resize my browser window and the sitepal avatar dimensions remain the same, causing it to overlay/underlay with other elements in the webpage. Can you please point me towards the right direction to solve / Workaround this issue?

Thanks in advance!

speak letters one by one

Shubham Kashikar 4 years ago in SitePal Studio • updated by Gil Sideman 4 years ago • 2

In sayText(), is there a way in which will some letters one by one and not as a word. Ex IT is pronounced similar to it.

Answer
Gil Sideman 4 years ago

It depends first and foremost on the voice you select.

For example, engine 7 and engine 3 voices will interpret IT in a sentence in the expected way. 

Try this sentence -

      I asked IT for assistance.

( btw - a convenient place to test is our demo - www.ttsdemo.com  )

and go through the available English voices.

If the voice you prefer to use does not pronounce it the way you expect, you can always turn to phonetic spelling.

In this case - separate the letters - 

      I asked I T for assistance.


Hope this helps,

TTS local domain without webserver running?

achr 4 years ago in SitePal Studio • updated by Gil Sideman 4 years ago • 2

Hello, 

Is there any way I can add a bare local domain to the approved domains on my account; in order to use TTS?

I know 'localhost' and IP addresses are supported, but I am talking about using TTS solely from an HTML file (with js) -> without running on any web-server (whether local or remote).

I have tried my external IP, internal IP, localhost, 127.0.0.1 - none of these work.

Thanks

Hi - 

Your page (in which your sitepal character is embedded) must be delivered by a web server.

But you can easily install a local server. Most developers do.

Hope this helps,

Gil
