TTS Voice Management

The TTS-1e and TTS-1nce require voice packages to be purchased and installed, whereas the TTS-2 has 140 voice packages pre-installed on it. Please choose the appropriate instructions for your device. 

TTS-1e and TTS-1nce

The Text to Speech Processor is capable of supported many different Voice Packages. These voice packages are purchased separately from the TTS-1e hardware.  

The Select Voice Package button is used to import Voice Packages from the TTS-1e into the Vocia software. A Voice Package consists of a language, locale and a voice. In the example image shown below we have two voice packages installed. The first is called Simona RO-RO;  This means that the voice will be female, the language will be Romanian, and the locale is Romania. The second voice package is called Fiona EN-SC; this means that the voice will be female, the language will be English, and the locale will be Scotland. A full list of supported Voice Packages is displayed under the Voice Package tab in the TTS Sequences dialog window.

Updating Voice Font Process:

• One Voice Font can be updated to multiple TTS-1e or TTS-1nce devices at the same time.

• the Select Voice Package button is used to browse to the storage location of their Voice File.

• Once the package has been selected it will be validated its Status will indicate as Add Pending.

• The user must then select the TTS-1e they want to update and then select the Add Voice button.

• Additional TTS-1e devices can be selected and added to the update with the Add Voice button.

• Once all the required TTS-1e devices have been selected the Update Devices button is used to transfer the Voice File to the TTS-1e.

Note that after a firmware update the TTS-1e Voice fonts will need to be re-loaded to the device. This is separate from the Send Configuration which must also be performed after the voices have been loaded.

TTS-2

The preinstalled voice packages are recognizable by a tick mark when looking at the voice list on the Voice tab in the TTS Sequences page. The columns can be sorted by Name, TTS-2, Language, and Description by pressing that portion of the header. 

If a TTS-1e is in the system the legacy voices will be moved to the top of the list. If one of those are chosen it must still be installed first per the TTS-1 instructions in the previous section.
