"Assign Voices..."
Posted: Jun 17, 2013 5:14 pm
Hello fellow MMS mavens!
So, I'm lonely, and was having my screenplay read to me by MMS...a little staid, but serves its purpose.
1-Wanted to see if there was any way to expand the library of voices. I can't tell if these are Mac OSX based or MMS generated, as any "Speech" or "Voices" folders I can find in my System Library or User Library do not contain anything. I understand if they're hidden/invisible, I just wanna add more! Anyone have luck or any experience with this?
2-When I went to "modify" the existing voices, thinking tweaking what is there could give more variety, I found that something wonky is going on...On p.214 of the PDF manual, it states: "Setup Available Voices—Clicking this button changes the configuration of the window by showing options to add or modify existing voices." And there is the rub; I do not have that button! I have a main menu/floating box like on p.212, but nowhere do I have the "Setup Available Voices" button to press and reveal more options, including sever features listed following that. HELP!
3-Would be great if there was also a "live" speed button or jog shuttle, so when voices are reading, you could accelerate a bit to zoom through parts without having to stop/start.
Any input is appreciated!
