TrueSpeech Player Download
TRUESPEECH® Giving Windows a Voice
When Microsoft went shopping for a technology to offer users of the Windows operating system efficient access to compatible, quality speech technology, it decided on using TrueSpeech from DSP Group of Santa Clara, California. End users need--and are asking for--compatible, quality speech for multimedia applications on their PCs and other personal communication devices. DSP Group is an industry leader in developing and marketing speech and digital signal processor technologies for the PC, multimedia, communications and consumer markets. Microsoft chose TrueSpeech because of its combination of high voice quality and efficient, digital representation of speech.
Currently, TrueSpeech audio files can be created from standard WAV files by using the Sound Recorder for Windows 95 and Windows NT, and can also be played using the Windows Media Player.
How to Use the Sound Recorder to convert from WAV to TrueSpeech formatted files:
In Sound Recorder:
-
Select Open from the File menu. Select the desired WAV file, and click OK.
-
Select Save As from the File menu.
-
Click Change to display the Sound Selection dialog box
-
Select DSP Group TrueSpeech(TM) from the Format list box, and click OK.
-
Specify a new Filename, if desired, and click OK.
The new file is encoded in the TrueSpeech format with a compression rate of 15x.
Your Win 95 screen should look something like this...
Note that Sound Recorder does not require you to save as an 8khz, 16-bit file before conversion like the dowloadable TrueSpeech Converter for Win 3.xx. You can convert from a number of different WAV file formats.
For those who are using Windows 3.11, a PCM to TrueSpeech conversion utility may be downloaded from this site. This conversion utility will accept PCM-encoded WAV files only if sampled at 8KHz/16-bit PCM format. Download the TrueSpeech Converter
