Using Voice Change Tags

Voice change tags are used to cause TextAloud to change voices while speaking an article.  These tags may be used when speaking text aloud or to an audio file, and are commonly used to create a "dialog" effect as text is spoken.

Voice Change Tags are only supported if SAPI Version (on the Engines/Voices panel) is set to "Use SAPI5 Only".

To use Voice Change Tags

• Make sure SAPI Version is set to "Use SAPI5 Only"
• Position your mouse cursor to the location in the article where you would like to change voices, and left click.
• Right click to display the article's popup menu
• Select "Insert Voice Change".  Available SAPI5 voices will appear as a submenu.
• Select a voice.

Tips

• Use Shortcut Setup to assign shortcuts to voices you use frequently.
