3) Can I use any voice or a language other than English?

CrazyTalk allows you to record your own voice, import pre-recorded wave files, or type in any text messages to be read back.

CrazyTalk has a powerful Text-to-Speech voice analysis technology and it is language-independence. It can produce fine vocal performance from multiple languages and many available third-party voices.

If you wish to use a particular voice (male, child, robot, and so on) or a language other than English, you can download the TTS engines from TTS engine providers. Please visit their websites for more info. For example, Microsoft provides more than 10 languages for SAPI4 - http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.aspx#tts. After installing the add-on voice, you can see all available voice in the drop-down menu.

For more information, you can also refer to our TTS page: http://www.reallusion.com/crazytalk/ct_tts.asp
