Hello,
I've been using Cereproc TTS voices for some time now but am looking to add to the range of voices. I had completely forgotten I had bought a pack of Neospeech voices from Reallusion some years ago. It was quite by chance I came across them again in my inventory as I was downloading my assets, after having to reinstall Windows 10. So, I downloaded the voices, seemed to work OK but they don't show up when I try to use them. Could anyone tell me where they are located on the computer or why they don't show up please?
Best regards.
Ken

Ken,
Normally when you download and install content fron your Reallusion account you are given the option after the items are installed to save a log file that contains information on the path for the items.

The log files are named similar to this RLContentInstallLog_2020.05.31 1039.txt 

Did you get such an option and do you have such files in your Documents folder?

Text to Speech voices are not installed into iClone. The voices are installed into your Windows OS. Try installing the TTS software Balabolka which will detect all the voices on your computer and you can then test they are working correctly. Balabolka also has the option of saving text to speech as audio files so can use saved audio files instead if you are having problems with voices being detected in iClone itself.

Thank you Gerry and Peter,

ihave found them on the computer but they are obviously in the wrong place as they're not working and can't be detected... I'll try Balabolka tomorrow Peter, thanks for the heads up...

Best regards.
Ken.

TTS files are only installed inside the system, so moving them is probably going to just make them not work. You can actually add some additional Microsoft voices to your system, and they will work, but with accents! ;)

Hello Peter and Rampa,
Thank you for your input, I have downloaded Balbolka and the programme works... although the Neospeech voices are still not showing in iClone. When I play the Neospeech voices in Balbolka I get the message "This version is for demonstration purposes only...", even though I bought the package! Also, they are still not identified in IC7....
I followed the instructions in the video Rampa and still no joy. The programme seemed to download voices but I have no idea where they are, and they're not showing in IC7 or Balbolka... Perplexing.
Best regards 
Ken

Hi Ken

If the voices are not showing up in iClone then try saving the text to speech as an audio file in Balabolka and then use the audio file in iClone. The end result will be the same.:)

Hello Peter,
I still have the problem when using Bolbolka that the neospeech voices have the "demonstration" voicing along with the speech. I know I can remove the "demonstration" statement  in my Sound Forge programme, but he point is, I have bought the  Neospeech voices and I can't "officially" use them...

Best regards.

Hi Ken

Unfortunately a lot of 3rd party companies like Neospeech have restrictions such as limiting the number of times a product can be installed or how many computers the product can be installed on. It may be that this is the reason for the trial message. If the problem persists it will be wise to contact Technical Support as they can check this for you.
