Subject: DTBmaker 2.0 with support for Apple speech manager
DTBmaker 2.0 with support for Apple Speech Manager voices is ready for
for testing you can download the installer named DTBmaker.2.dmg from my
iDisk public folder. My iMac user name is: gregkearney
this will install the current version of DTBmaker in a directory called
DTBmaker in the applications directory as well as a new directory called
dtbmaker-sm
DTBmaker-sm is a Macintosh Universial binary program which uses the MacOS
Speech manager service to produce the recordings. This means that it can
use the built in apple voices or any voice that appears under speech
manager including those from Cepstral and Acapela as well as others. this
provides support for scandinavian as well as other languages. It also
means that book can be produced without having to purchase any voices as
the MacOS included several voices as default. This program will work with
the new Alex voice.
Instruction are included for using Apple Speech manager embedded
controls. Which permit embedding commands to control pitch, rate and
other voice controls with in your text. there are version of the program
which will create DAISY 2.02 DAISY/NISO 2002 and 2005 books.
As this program requires Apple Speach Manager to run it is a Mac only
program but the source code is included.
