Text-to-speech problems in 12 languages
Bonjour Gil,
In French, the following code works:
<a href='javaScript:vh_sceneLoaded();'>ECOUTER</a><script language="JavaScript">
In Swedish, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P> jorden är rund</P>',1,9,4);
Canadian French, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P> La terre est ronde</P>',1,4,4);
In Greek, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P>η γη είναι στρογγυλή</P>'1,8,4);
In HINDI, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P>पृथ्वी गोल है</P>'1,24,4);
In Hungarian, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P>A Föld gömbölyű</P>'1,29,4);
In Indonesian, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P>bumi itu bulat</P>'1,28,4);
In Romanian, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P>Pământul este rotund</P>'1,30,4);
In Turkish, the following code does not work: sayText(' <P>dünyanın yuvarlak olduğunu</P>'1,16,4);
That's a lot of languages (12) do not work on PC (IE and Chrome) with full-body avatars!
Pending an answer,
Hi François -
I tried different languages in our TTS demo - they all seem to work fine.
See -

Why are you using the <P> tag in the text to be spoken? What are you trying to achieve?
HTML tags cannot be interpreted with the exception of documented SSML tags, and should not be used. If used, they will either be stripped and ignored, or the result might be unexpected.
Please remove these tags & try again. If you still see a problem - please post a link to your page where the problem can be seen & we will look into it.
Best,
Gil
PPT Plugin and Website embedding not possible
I have the Sitepal Silver account.
I have licensed two wordpress websites: http://cash4yes.com and http://revisarproductos.cash4yes.com
I have installed the PPT plugin.
I am using PPT 2007 and have Windows 10
I am using a Dell laptop. I have highspeed internet connection.
I have read all instructions.
I have created a scene.
When I go to the Publish scene section appears website embedding html but no PPT option.
I used the example html but the scene html code doesn't paste there.
When I paste it in a wp page or post it doesn't appear.
When I access the website a blank space appears where the avatar should be.
I have looked at the sitepal knowledge base, support and forum community: no answers to this issue.
I have done a Google search, but no mention of this situation.
I have noticed that sitepal documentation is over nine (9) years out of date and support and forum posts are several years old, too.
I am using Google Chrome browser.
Anybody knows how to fix this issue?

How can i switch to English Pronunciation
Hi,
I have a german speaking avatar, but there are of course many english proper names, that are not spoken correctly by my avatar. Take the example "facebook", it is spoken german by the avatar and that sounds not good and makes no sense. Can i switch for some words to english speaking?
Regards,
Helmut
Hi Helmut -
Yes - it is possible to switch voices in mid-speech, including from one language to another.
You can use SSML tags to do so - as per the following example.
Please try the following example & adapt it for your needs - select voice "Julie" in the sitepal editor - and paste this text in -
I can change my voice while I speak! <voice Name="Bridget">A posh accent if you please</voice>! or speak in a different language! <voice Name="Violeta"> 1 2 3 4 Cinco de mayo </voice>
The above example uses only voices from engine 3 (Julie, Bridget, Violeta). Note that you must use voices from the same "engine" and that only voices from engines 2 and 3 support this functionality. You can find the list of voices per engine in the API Reference document (see appendix)
Hope this helps,
Gil
