Text to speech options | eLearning
Briefly

The real challenge with Captivate 12's Text to Speech feature is the seemingly limited selection of voices, which can often result in a robotic sound, lacking the warmth and naturalness found in modern TTS implementations. Unlike the previous versions, where options were more accessible, many users have found themselves grappling with the absence of enhanced voice filters that could significantly improve the auditory experience.
In seeking alternatives, many users consider utilizing external audio resources like Artlist or similar services for voiceovers, which indeed offers a wider range of high-quality voices. However, the drawback is that you lose the built-in synchronization features of Captivate, which streamlines the process for future updates and translations. Balancing quality and practicality is key.
The presence of different voice options like 'Adam - British' shown in online resources suggests that these options may not be universally available to all Captivate 12 users, raising questions about whether certain features depend on licensing or specific geographical regions.
It's essential to ensure that your Captivate is updated, as enhancements are often included in new releases, which might affect available features like voice selections. Check if there are any additional plugins or settings within your version that could improve your current situation.
