I'm getting the error: Text-to-speech engine cannot convert the input text in speech

How do I get beyond this issue...I want to add text to sound and I want to make voice recordings but it won't let me. according to this tutorial: http://www.reallusion.com/crazytalk/tutorial/illustrative/CT5%20Key%20Editing%20and%20creating%20a%20custom%20script.pdf there's supposed to be an edit button next to the puppeteering button...that isn't there either

Hi,

It seems like you may have a problem with your text to speech engine which is installed on your computer. If you have Windows Vista then you will have the text to speech engine SAPI 5.3 installed along with one voice. If you have Windows XP then it may vary on which version of SAPI you have installed.

The page below has links to download SAPI 4 and some sample voices as well as general information on TTS which you may like to look at.

If you continue to have problems with text to speech then please contact techical support for help on resolving this. You can contact them using the form linked below.

With regards to the Edit button mentioned in the tutorial, the Key Editor is only available in Crazytalk 5 Pro. If you are using the standard version of Crazytalk 5 you won't have this button I'm afraid. You can see the differences between the two versions using the link below.

I hope this helps a little.
