EnableNOW: Text-to-speech function only available in English?

[Former Member]

Dear community,

I have a question regarding SAP EnableNOW. I have created different learning videos. For english voiceovers, I could just use the record audio function. As I want to replicate the videos in different languages, I would like to use the text-to-speech function. Unfortunately, I can't manage to get it running in other languages, tried French, Spanish and Russian.

What I did so far: I copied my simulations, changed the language, edited the text in the boxes and ran the "Convert text-to-speech" function. When listening to the video, it seemed like the Software was trying to read out the spanish text in english language, which sounded pretty odd.

Does anyone have a hint what i might be doing wrong or how i could tell enableNOW that i no longer want my text read out in english but in a different language instead?

Thanks in advance for every tip you might have!

Best regards,

Marc

Hi Marc,

We utilize Windows Voice for Text-to-Speech in the SAP Enable Now. If you have Windows Voice packages installed for your target voices, everything should be fine. Here is a nice post from Microsoft how to text-to-speech languages: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/how-to-download-text-to-speech-languages-for-windows-10-d5a...

Also we have an option to use Google Voice Text-to-Speech. You need a valid Google account and a subscription for their service. You can find an info about Google Text-to-Speech in the Producer Manual on help.sap.com.
