Calling up for a code developer for voice messages tool
-
2 years later… Had some time to work on this project.
It basically associates the CSV tables with the XML data to link the exact file name to the voice/ID.
You can either select a new .WAV source or use a Text To Speech voice (using whatever is installed to Windows, default shown).
Can also edit the text string if using TTS to sound more like the correct word, ie. Rescap vs Rezcap (latter sounds correct).
TO-DO, record directly to the voice clip via soundcard input, add parameters for TTS (speed, intonation).
Once generated it re-packs to TLK via TlkTool.exe
Early working WIP… Interested?
Also have an auto-generated Text To Speech which is stand-alone right now that runs through all IDs from a particular voice, generating all automatically. (takes about 3-4 minutes)
Will eventually integrate it into the TlkTool GUI tool…
-
Very interested in this talktool gui !
I have a hard time following my own instructions to use the batch file version. And these new features would be great!
I can’t watch the videos yet, but just your post has me excited.
Keep us posted please. And thank you very much. -
-
wow looks very good, straight forward and with cherries on top…
Thank you very much.
I’m sure all theater teams are very interested in this tool.
Multilanguage voices can be done more easily, fix or change voices.
The TTS is great and there are some very good TTS voices.
now a translate from to and the recording you mention will be just perfect…What u thought I wouldn’t ask for more???
:lol: kidding it’s super… but u know me… -
The application is almost ready for public use, want to add a voice record / input feature where you can use it to go through each voice and overdub using a mic for those who don’t fancy TTS.
At almost 2800 clips (approx.) per voice it’s a lot of clips to record via a microphone, but the program takes care of trimming silence and normalizing (dynamic compression also available) before rendering to WAV.
Added a string replace feature for all voices where you want to replace a specific phrase common to more than one voice, avoiding the need to go through each finding every instance. Also added dynamics and normalization post effects, and the gain can be positively biased to create natural distortion.
Also had the chance to get my hands on some higher end TTS voices, and the results are quite good for the purpose. Completely replaced all legacy voices and it sounds consistent. As they are commercial voices they won’t be included with the application, but it will find and use any voices installed to windows automatically.
Should have something by the end of the week for initial testing…
On a side note, does anyone know or understand the relation between the assigned voice numbers in Misson Commander (.cam file) and the actual voice number used?
-
Thanks for sharing this tool with the community, Khronik, it’s already looking (and more importantly sounding :D) very good!
All the best, Uwe
-
Just need to add the external audio record functionality (via microphone / line input) with a “trainer” that can run through the strings and auto-capture and move through the IDs… Should be good to go after this is done.
On a side note, not sure how effective translation is, but it’s using Google’s translate API so not sure if there’s better. Still faster than what’s available as methods though.
-
wow looks very impressive and fast.
You can auto translate all commands at once, or one by one?The voices you sample in the vid sound very realistic…
-
Haven’t made an option for translate all but it’s a simple addition. Most translated text needs vetting though
-
Soon available Khronik?
-
Yes, just wanted to clean it up a little internally and add a few last features, maybe a day or two
-
Ok thanks for the work Khronik.:thumb:
-
Khronik thanks so much for TLKTool GUI. It is wonder. Everything all in one .
Do you add Turkish language into translate menu if avaliable.
Thanks Gizemkar. -
I like turtles.

Sorry for the wait, been busy as of late but will update shortly…

Hi all!
First of all, this is an awesome tool. Thank you for that!
I have a question in terms of enhancing lines in F4Talk95v1-0-0.csv/fragfile.xml/evalFile.xml:
Right now there 3287 lines possible in F4Talk95v1-0-0.csv.
When adding more lines (I need 400 more) in F4Talk95v1-0-0.csv and set path in fragfile.xml/evalFile.xml, TlkTool data ends still at line 3287.Which file I have to modify to establish more lines to work with? Fragfile.bin?
If so, how can I do this?Thank you!

Microforget bin, you can delete them
ther is no limitation of line.
i suppose you have badly edited your xml files if TLKTOOL can’t corectly use them
-
Copy that thank you!
One note: TlkTool needs the bin to work and create a session.
I’m sure this has no effect cause data comes from fragfile.xml -

I’m sure this has no effect cause data comes from fragfile.xmlI use Tlktool everyday without the bin. I use of course the command line version
-
Thank you Mav-Jp!
I found the problem which was indeed a xml mistake.I use the GUI version but I found out today that with the command line version I can work more easily.
@Mav-jp:
I’m interested in which TTS software/application were used for the actual KTO Voice 12f + 13. Do you have information about this topic too?
