If anyone here has heard of Speakonia, the program that allows you to type anything and have it read it, would it be possible to make it talk in lets say, a marines, or a firebats voice, maybe the advisor? Because I am making a campaign that I will soon be posting to see if anyone thinks its worth continuing, and I would like to know so I could make it more cinematical because reading text all the time is just boring. Can anyone answer this?



None.

I'm pretty sure that is not possible.

No, that would require pre-recorded words/sounds. So, if it were possible to make a custom voice, you would be limited to the words/sounds the units from the game have to offer. On top of that, the pitch and what not of those cut up sounds/words would be all over the place. And on top of that, if you somehow managed, it would still sound all synthesized and awkward like microsoft sam and such. The only thing you could possibly do is edit the output wav files of the default voices with other software to get them as close to the unit voices as you can. And even that doesn't leave you anything to work with because of how retarded the voices sound.

Oh_Man -- No APM in chess. Computer just outthinks the human by seeing more moves ahead and more permutations

NimoStar -- If its any consolation, the human brain would still mop the floor with this bot if it wasn't limited by the mechanical interface
[05:34 pm]
NimoStar -- Well. The bot didn't come up with any new strategy. It just has superhuman micro. Hard to beat that. I reckon even the simplest dedicated chess engines are unbeatable for humans now.

Oh_Man shouted: NudeRaider did u watch the entire video? it's not one game. it's currently dominating the ladder at number 1 position. do ur research first!
Oops, caught me there, no I haven't. :( I was imagining how the game went. Sorry for that. Watching it now. brb

NudeRaider -- NimoStar
NimoStar shouted: They were not "Unprepared" that was their fifth loss in a row against the bot. The other replays are also available
that doesn't mean he was prepared. When humans come around with new strategies it often takes weeks until the pros figure out how to shut it down. Oh_Man that's certainly a way more convincing argument for micro being "too good to beat".
