Failed to align text. Please select patial text and corresponding audio segment to align it.  
I get this error message when trying to align text. 

Hi,

We have total 4 AccuLips tutorials and hope you will find them useful. 
Hope you have fun with our tools, because something fun with AccuLips is coming!  

the same problem for me, I've followed everything on tutorials  but the same error : failed to align a text

I've reported it as a bug, go here and vote

Edit : 

Fixed (for my part)




     

I am getting "Failed to align text" no matter what I do. Even TTS fails to align text with AccuLips. I have tried all the options, and they all fail to align text, even if I go word by word with partial alignments. What could be causing this?

As a rule the failure to align is because of the audio file.  First make sure you are using a plain vanilla audio file, something produced out of a program like Audacity or at least a major player, using a standard codec.  Here's one you can use to test:

And here is the text to copy and paste: How dare you open a space mans' helmet on an uncharted planet. My eyeballs could have been sucked from their sockets

Now, this should work for you just fine.  If it does, then you know it's something wrong with your audio and you need to work on that (I would advise using MP3 as it's a much safer and more reliable codec than .WAV which can be in a ton of different forms in that container).  If this does NOT work for you then it's something with your system.

Why not just use the built in TTS from iClone 7 with the Microsoft voices, if you want to test it out.
I used it, and everything works fine.

I have just tried with the string provided above on AccuLips, by clicking the TTS button and choosing Microsoft David, and it still claims it cannot align the text. For the record, I can create scripts with audio files and TTS using all the other methods - just not AccuLips. If there were something wrong with my system, how come the other methods work using the same TTS, WAV and TXT files?

There was another person above claiming they solved this by configuring the audio card in Windows and iClone. How do we configure that in iClone?

You tried using the AUDIO I provided?

It's always the audio that's the issue.  TTS may or may not work, but you need to start with clean audio.  Record yourself saying a line, export it as MP3, and it should work just fine.  Creating audio in ANY other format or using some kind of artificial audio creating program may not work.

If someone has an audio file they've created (again, by THEMSELVES, not using any artificial voice) that isn't working, post it here and we'll look at it.

Yes, I have tried your audio and text. Still cannot align. It always fails. TTS is working, and I can use it in iClone to create a script and generate lip sync - just not with AccuLips. I have created my own audio, but if AccuLips fails with simple text and self-generated TTS, nothing is going to make it work here.

What could be wrong? What else can I try?

If it fails with the audio and text I supplied then you most likely need to reinstall iClone -- remove it completely (using the Windows add/remove) and reinstall using the hub.  Because something is dinged up.

(Although part of me would REALLY like to see a video of the failure -- I mean, I take you at your word, but for this to work perfectly for me and not for you suggests something VERY odd.  Let's hope a reinstall fixes it all).
