is there voice speech reading?

Hi!

Is there a function in the Soundtrack Pro where i can type out a sentence or a sales jingle, and have computer voices read out what I type?

Or is there such a default function in the G5 Power mac?

Thank you

No, not is STP. Apple has been working with speach synthesis for years now and MacOS X has some built in capabilities but, a program to speak back typed words, is not available that I am aware of.

there has been a speech reading feature in the mac OS for years. go into system preferences and go to speech, then into text to speech. you can set a keycombo that will speak anything you have selected in pretty much any application.

but to my knowledge, you cant record it while its speaking. if you want to do that, you'll need an external recording device (camera, deck, tape recorder, mini disc, another mac...) hooked to your sound out, then come back and capture that.

You might be able to record it via Audio Hijack Pro by Rogue Amoeba.
