opera's text to speech

15 Sept 2013
Tags: , , ,

Today text to speech are very common in different platforms. In windows7 or xp the default voice is very primitive in nature, there are several text to speech software available in the market, with different voice modules , some can offer really innovative voices like josh offered by acapela, also most of the software support a vast array of languages for text to speech. But there is another player with little size of 10mb around, and free absolutely. stood fairly good, but it can'nt stood in comparison with premium voices from neospeech, nexup, or at&t etc.

 i am showing the steps to activate this support:

 step1: open any page on opera (my version is 11.60)

                           
                                   
step2:  select any portion of text, and then right click, then click speak in the list

step3:  after that a window will appear, asking you, that you want to download the module  or 
not , click yes

                                       

step4: once you have downloaded the module, you can use the text to speech any time, but its is better to keep a copy of the module.
                                                                for windows 7 users

                                        
goto the target folder as depicted in the picture's address bar.(goto the folder which you have named, as "Abhishek sen" in my case)


                                                               for windows xp user



                                          
goto the target folder as depicted in the picture's address bar(goto the folder which you have named, as "administrator" in my case)

Now you can save a copy of folder "voice", so if you install opera again in your system then just pate the copied folder to the target folder, you will find that your speak option is ready to be used.
