text to speech – Dr. Ray Pastore's Instructional Technology Blog https://raypastore.com/wordpress Tue, 13 Aug 2019 19:19:07 +0000 en-US hourly 1 https://wordpress.org/?v=5.7.15 166124113 Text to speech software https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2019/08/text-to-speech-software/ https://raypastore.com/wordpress/2019/08/text-to-speech-software/#respond Tue, 13 Aug 2019 19:19:07 +0000 https://raypastore.com/wordpress/?p=3252 This is a topic I have had a lot of interest in lately. Text to speech is not really a new technology (I used it in the 80s) but its gotten significantly better. Additionally, people want to use it for professional products (ie elearning). Narration is an expensive cost in an elearning product so a good voice could help to really save a lot of money. So is it good? Well, at this point its OK. There is some software out there that really isn’t terrible and some that hasn’t improved since 1985. Overall I am excited to keep trying it out and see if it gets better over the next few years. Here are a few videos I have created which go through some of the current software on the market today. You can be the judge and jury: Would you use it?
