You have two options in creating custom voice files for my boards. The they are both covered in this page. See the bottom of this
page for a list of phrases for each Sounds Plus/Vocalizer and Squawk and Talk game.
1. Create custom phrases using an on-line text-to-speech site.
2. Record a friend or family member reciting each phrase contained in a game.
You can create your own custom voices using a combination of an on-line Text-to-Speech or Narrator
website and the Reverb effect in Audacity. Go into one of the many narrator websites and type in a couple of
phrases from your game. Then record it in Audacity and apply the Reverb effect. Try a couple of different
settings on the website to find a voice you like. If there is too much echo, try adjusting the top 4 controls down
to under 20 (Room Size, Pre-delay, Reverberance, Damping) or try out the presets under the [Manage] button. Write down
your settings so you can refer back. You may have to break up the text into smaller groups if you are having
processing troubles.
Instructions:
1. Copy/Paste below text for your machine into a text-to-speech website.
2. Bring up Audacity and record the internal computer sound.
3. Press [Submit] on text-to-speech website to start it talking.
4. Stop recording in Audacity when talking done.
5. Apply Audacity reverb to the entire recording.
6. Break into sound files and Export as WAV files. Refer to manual for file numbers.
Recording the Computer on Audacity:
Use the following two settings for the recording source to record the Windows computer. There is two types of loopback settings
depending on if you are using your computer's speakers or headphones. You cannot do this on an Apple computer.
Here is an example video where I created female versions of the Elektra Voices. I used
a Microsoft Text-to-Speach website that is no longer free.
The file format you are going after is 44.1KHz, Stereo, 16-bit PCM, WAV file extension, and no Meta-data. The WAV player
on my board will not play any other format. It may take a bit to get your sound program configured for this format. If you
are having troubles, edit one of my WAV files and examine the format.
Be Careful with the MicroSD card holder on the little red board. It can be fragile. Bounce the card a little to take it out.
Do not force it. Use a high quality MicroSD card. Cheaper ones are slow which can cause distortion. Cheaper ones are also
just a bit different physical dimensions which will bind up in the holder and break it. I only use SanDisk MicroSD cards. I have
had very few issues since using them.
