About Acapela TTS Voices

******** Warning ********
Since the latest Google applications update most of the Google applications (Google maps and Google now for example) don't care anymore about the TTS settings and use only their own Google TTS voices.
So please note that for the moment we cannot guarantee compatibility for these applications as this is a unilateral decision from Google.
To keep using our voices in a Navigation GPS application we suggest to use the "Navigator" or Sygic application or any other Google Speech API compatible application.

******** Important Note ********
The application is free, so you can try all of our voices in an online mode, but then you need to buy at least one voice within the application to be able to use the voices (offline) with TTS compatible application (In-app Billing - EUR 3.99/voices et EUR 11.99/kids Premium voices)

******** Description ********
Acapela TTS allows you to buy and install our high quality voices and integrate them in your Android Device to use them with the system or any TTS compatible applications (such Google TalkBack, some GPS Applications, Translator applications, ebook reader, news reader ...)

For questions & installation instruction, visit http://www.acapela-group.com/acapela-for-android/acapela-tts-voices-installation-instructions/
In case of issues, please write us an email (acapelavoices@acapela-for-android.com).

******** Instructions ********
1/ Tap the application icon. However, beforehand, check that you have a valid data connection, as the app needs to contact the server to check voice status.
2/ If you have more than one Google account, select the one associated with your Google Play account.
WARNING: you will not be able to change this afterwards. In case of error, uninstall the application and install it again.
3/ Browse the list of voices retrieved from our servers.
4/ Tap on a voice and a menu will appear:
• ‘Listen to the voice’ allows you to test an of our voices with your own text
• ‘Buy’ will open an in-app Billing window, asking for confirmation of your purchase
5/ After purchase, the voice will appear with a download icon. Click on it and choose ‘download’.
6/ The voice will be downloaded. Note: the amount of data to download is between 20 & 30 MB.
7/ If this is the first time you have downloaded a voice, you will have to set up your device in order to set Acapela TTS as the default Text To Speech.
• Go to Android ‘Settings’ -> ‘Language & Input’ -> Text-to-Speech Settings’.
• Select ‘Acapela TTS’ then click on the settings icon in the right
• Select the voice you installed or the default voice option (see later chapter)
8/ Press "Listen to an Example" (mandatory, in order to activate the voice)

Default voice option

In Android ‘Settings’ -> ‘Language & Input’ -> Text-to-Speech Settings’ -> ‘Acapela TTS’ -> 'Settings' you can now select a default voice instead of the explicit voice.
By doing that you can use a new system allowing you to switch between several Acapela voices directly in the application or using our widget.

To set the voice used simply open the application then press and hold to the voice you want to set as default voice (a yellow star will appear)
Or click on the widget to switch between all the voices.

his is useful and helpful to all the blind people like me. I will recommend this to all my friends to purchase this Acapela TTS. that's all, and we will wait for the next update. :-) (Emoticons madamme/sir. Thank you!

CUSTOMIZABLE! I liked SVOX's editor, but Acapella blows them away. (See the editor inside the app and visit their site for Output Optimizations and Vocal Smileys.) If you don't like the way something is pronounced, you can change it. I bought US English "Tracy," which I believe is far superior to Google's voices. You can save your dictionary, too. Dev's, please don't let the negative reviews discourage you.

D70%
by D####:

was hoping this came with a simple voice to test out its capability as a TTS engine.. Unfortunately there is no demo voice included to properly test out its capability. frankly, only giving the ability to read out a couple sentences, and then expecting me to pay $4 for the full voice is utterly rediculous!

B70%
by B####:

Well, I was happy to find Acapela TTS Voices to be my #1 text to speech app with voices aplenty. I hope the next update includes at least to the maximum of ten for aargh, breathing, clicking, coughing, laughing and crying, mmm, sleeping, sneezing, swallowing, throat clearing, whistling, and yawning sounds. Even if it's too much, I'm gonna enjoy with what I got.

I70%
by I####:

This is by far the best affordable text to speech app I've ever seen. It has so many voices to choose from to match your needs. I think it's great for autistic people who are only occasionally nonverbal, as it allows easy and reliable communication during those times

D70%
by D####:

Holy crap! $7+ for a SINGLE synthesized voice. I think not! Maybe $7 for the ability to access ALL of the voices. App doesn't even come with ONE!!! no thanks! I'll be moving on... GL with your app. You'll be needing it. Wow. If you're looking to PAY for a tts voice try CereProc or even Voxygen. Better business model than bending you over and... Well... You know.

Hi, lg g5 when moving menus they turn black, please patch and update. No internal settings can be changed this way.

S70%
by S####:

Demo doesn't actually function, you can hear the voices but they don't change pitch, volume or speed, they just read exactly the same regardless. No way to use the demo to see if the product actually works in the application you want it for, as because it's an IAP you have no play store refund process. Could be great, but demo will not inform the potential buyer.

This is a superior replacement to SVOX classic. SVOX has stopped developing and responding to new versions of android. Acapela continues to improve over SVOX

Some great voices, and I love that you can edit the pronunciation of particular words.

Been using this tts for a while now. I use it all day long with TalkBack, which is a screen reader for the blind. It is responsive and reliable. Far better than the default.

At $4 per voice you guys must be smoking something over there. No free testers either and the demos sounded all distorted.

I've come to adore these voices, and they are what bumps up this app to a 4. Yes, they cost money, but they are worth it for people like me who listen to hours of tts on the daily. Check out their website--you can see the special expressions and noises each voice is capable of (ie ##LAUGH1## or something. And phrases like "Yes! Or Wonderful! Or even less appropriate ones lol)

The voices have unique personalities. At the moment I use Will badguy with pitch at 70 and my phone has a voice, to me, like the Saw voice from the movies or something from Mortal Combat. I like it much more than the default, which most sighted friends and even my mom found annoying if I was without headphones. Also, all the stuff on the web sight like recording a persons' voice to use as TTS is AWESOME!

O70%
by O####:

very very bad! standard Google TTS much much better. No sense to use this tts, at all, for real.

I70%
by I####:

All the United Kingdom voices sound posh, like I'm talking to the Queens daughters or her self, none of the voices are East England, Peterborough, or Londoners, the little kids voices are creepy, really need to update your list

All you do is wright. If you dont want to talk use this app. It even has purple sheps voice so if your a purple shep fan then you will love this app.

N70%
by N####:

Voices are staticky and low quality compared to the competition. They also lack the ability to change inflection based on punctuation, such as going up in pitch at the end of questions (they respond to some of the more common questions appropriately, but nothing else). This might be fine for someone wanting a voice to play around with or represent their device's "voice," but for serious, heavy use (for example an AAC voice for those who cannot speak), this absolutely won't work. Thankfully, there are other TTS engines on the Android market that do.

X70%
by X####:

I totally agree the voices are great but I find it lags and stutters and occasionally will read a word wrong.

D70%
by D####:

The voices are very poor compared to the standard Google TTS and don't offer much of a difference. The Scottish one is terrible, it seems to swap between an English and Scottish accent depending on the word.

Z70%
by Z####:

Acapella has great voices and the Android support for TTS is the best there is on any platform. Now though for the bad, this voice even when set as default is not used by google maps, or google voice, unless my data goes out... Very is disappointing indeed as I really don't like the tiny woman aspect is the google speech packages. Back too the app that manages three Acapella voices, it for some reason likes to delete my voices at random as I use it to test the voices and make changes to the voices.
