When I do the text to voice option, my voice mode drop down menu only gives me the ANNA option. Now I am using Windows as I do not have a mac. Is this the only option? I just wish I could get rid of the robotic sound. Also, can I record via a windows PC?

Welcome to the Forum 1) Microsoft ANNA Voice is a canned Digital Voice. 2) You can Record your own voice to a WAV PCM Audio File, using a Free Voice Recording Program. (Link to be added) & Import that into iClone. I have & frequently use it. What out for any Adware it tries to Install (Adware; because it's Free). ADDED - Disregard that. There's a new Version with Adware that's very difficult to not Install. Depends where it's Downloaded from. If I find a Download that isn't difficult to Install, I'll Post. Google; Audacity & Goldwave. Both Free, but have a learning curve. I have Goldwave. Others have Audacity. 3) You can Morph your own voice using several Aliases, using MorphVOX PRO. Link to be added. I & some others have it. ADDED - Link: http://www.screamingbee.com/product/MorphVOX.aspx. You need a Microphone for all of the above Programs. There are other TTS Voices, but they all cost Money, plus the Program to Run them.

There used to be more by default, but now it's just Anna, as Colour mentions. There are vendors of TTS products, but they have very restrictive user agreements, more-or-less prohibiting using the voice in animation when published in any form (e.g., YouTube), even if it's a hobby. I use an online service, www.acapela-box.com, that doesn't have those restrictions.

I am also new and want the voices from the drop down list that see to be available for free with the program. It's absolutely important to me as they are american accents, which is what I want. Surely there is a patch or something?

If its an entertainment type of tale you are working on consider http://voiceactingalliance.com/. If its a commercial/business type of venture consider hiring an actor at fiver.com. Realistically buying a 20 dollar mic (or using the voice memo function of your iphone) and recording your own voice (as well as that of friends and family) is going to sound better than a computer generated voice.

New Member Group: Forum Members Last Active: 8 Years Ago Posts: 2, Visits: 14	Thanks, that's great...but: 1. I want the voices that are supposed to come with the program. 2. I want American accents (which are supposed to come with the program) 3. I don't want to pay anyone as I've just purchased the program that is supposed to come with the voices. So, what I want to know is how do I get the voices that are supposed to come with the program?

Where does it list the voices that are "supposed to" come with the program? (iClone, I presume.) The TTS (text-to-speech) in iClone is a "capability" that depends on other applications to actually generate the speech. Each version of Windows, going back to XP at least, comes with one, maybe two voices, and they seem to change with each version. I, too, wish iClone included several voices, but it doesn't. iClone 7... Character Creator... Substance Designer/Painter... Blender... Audacity... Desktop (homebuilt) - Windows 10, Ryzen 9 3900x CPU, GTX 1080 GPU (8GB), 32GB RAM, Asus X570 Pro motherboard, 2TB SSD, terabytes of disk space, dual monitors. Laptop - Windows 10, MSI GS63VR STEALTH-252, 16GB RAM, GTX 1060 (6GB), 256GB SSD and 1TB HDD

I'm not sure where you have heard that voices come with the programs. No text to speech voices come with any of our products. Our software just use the voices that are already installed on your computer. By default this will be one to three depending on your operating system. If you are looking for a variety of voices and languages, then why not take a look at our "TTS On Demand" service. This is an online service and doesn't require installing anything. You just pay for the length of the audio you generate. http://tts.reallusion.com/ Peter Forum Administrator www.reallusion.com
