I've not had much luck with the automatic 'generate text' functionality. It takes ages and often returns garbage when used with accents or low level audio.
As a tip, I'd recommend this: https://www.apowersoft.com/speech-to-text-online
Free, faster and much better speech recognition. You can then just copy and paste the resulting text.

Cool--I'll have to try this. I try to save whatever I've typed into my voice generators but don't always remember to copy/paste and sometimes confuse the heck out of it by putting in the wrong words. 

Thanks!

I will try that, but using automated text generation is mostly not recommended, as it is a hit or a miss. I have tried with various online tools and usually it is not better or even worse than what AccuLips generates.

It is way better to use the actual transcription. Just create a text file with the same name as the audio file in the same folder and it will load automatically.

So I tried it and it is not bad, but this was a clean audio file:

Orginal:
"Zeeray’s atmosphere and climate are earth-like. 
Khentopia, its main world, has an active space harbor. 
No obvious weaponry, but there is a protective force field against any undesirable penetration."

Apowersoft:
"zaire is atmosphere and climate our earthlike.
kentucky its main world has an active space harbour.
no obvious weaponry but there is a protective force field against any undesirable penetration."

Here's what got me to need an alternative...
Using the audio from this: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wsoqQ58H3EY

AccuLips result:

From https://www.apowersoft.com/speech-to-text-online i got this result:

you know.whenever people look at me they think man he's lucky he's got the perfect life he has no worries.but i always wonder why why they wanted of my life was so good about it they seem to think that my life ,is perfect but in .reality.it's the red opposite it's anything but perfect.the glow of happiness that i see on my face.it's just the light is emitted from the internal fire to spare that burns in my soul.all my despair began when i was in first grade.my dad would come home from work.and you wouldn't even hug us forget about hugs he would even say .hi.normally he will always hug us and we will spend time with him.now he just sits with a ,bottle ,of ,picardy.and drinks until he is fully .jumped.even his clothes wreaked the stench of alcohol it was hearty and walked past him without holding a breath.i also was a different one to school when kids used anticipate the arrival of the weekend.ma'am did i wish it never .came.my dad would drink and drink.and he would vote with my mom for no .reason.and they were fighting in a fight and all i could do was lay in my bed burying my face my pillow.and cry.everything just went downhill after .that.i still hate thinking about that last day i was with my .dad.that day my dad came home.this time ,he's already .drunk.as usual he began to install my mom.and when my mum stood up .for.he started to smash things she smashed everything in his way when my mom tried to stop him he did the .unthinkable.he spat on my mom's face but that was not all he grabbed a .scar.and he started to strangle .her.a cold place right there and .then.and you finally let .go.what brute how dare you do that's my mom.what if i wasn't there what if they were alone.he would have killed my mom.my whole childhood was lost in this trauma.i've still been able to cover mentally for that incident.so do you still think my life is perfect no it's .not.god forbid this from happening to anyone else.happiness that you see on my face is just a mask to cover the ugly face and .sadness.i won't be sketched into my heart.so ,don't ,be jealous.just do what i have .done.forget about all the bad memories which are sugar buns.and live life to its extent.

Not perfect but way, way better and actually a lot faster conversion too

I tried with another source (an old TV program) and I'm quite impressed. It did much better than I expected. So if you don't have a transcript, this is indeed a good starting point.

BTW, interesting resource, these dramatic dialogues.

Yes, I've been using a lot of these acting monologues. I then point my iPhone at the PC screen for the LiveFace capture. Works really well, but that's probably for another forum thread Smile

ps. should probably say this has a couple of F words so possibly NSFW

That's very good, Jerome, thanks for sharing. I'm an iClone/CC only guy, so seeing this is very encouraging.

Excellent, Jerome. I bet that wasn’t your first try. I myself am getting into Liveface. I’m getting used to it. 

I’m used to Faceware really. But now, what I’m ending up doing is capturing everything with Faceware, on the first run, except the mouth and the chin. For those, I use Acculips. This procures me the best result.
