Re: [microsound] Text To Speech App for Mac

the problem with say > soundflower or jack is that it is a single process. you can route it with the system out, but that's it. every evocation seems a newly spawned program, hence it's quite difficult to route "permanently" as soon as the process is done, it will no longer be visible in jack by example.

I've never gotten anywhere with Soundflower, but have had good luck with Jack OSX.

Thanks for all the ideas. Seems my sound in system pref was backwards so to speak. Recording fine now. Also, the terminal idea is nifty. I like this way alot also. 

Cheers,

Also,
I have tried to use Soundflowerbed with no luck. There is no way to change the output of Text Edit. 

Has anyone been able to record from Text Edit?

I have a fast track pro usb audio device from m audio -

I have tried this -

My output is fast track
My input is soundflower 2ch

I have tried this in Bias Peak Pro 5 and also Logic Studio.

It never registers any incoming audio on the meter to record.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

yes use Apples built in... but just use "text edit" the built in text editor for mac... there is a command under the Edit menu... "Speech: Start Speaking". It reads whatever is in the file. 

Then use Soundflower (free on the Cycling74 website.)

Route it to whatever your recording app is.

use apple's built-in.
go to terminal, type say whatever you want to say
you can specify which voice and also render to file.
type man say for more info.
if you have max, you can use the lspeak object or emulate the terminal with shell. unfortunately i haven't found a way to record that without a multi i/o soudcard, soundflower and jack don't work with simple terminal commands. 


best

Anyone know of a great text to speech utility which will render the resulting audio to a specified file format, preferably freeware also? I know Text edit is an option with Audio Hijack - but I can never get Audio Hijack to record anything. I am on MAC. 

Thanks,

Dominic
