Benefits

· Eliminates Costs and Hassle of Microphone Recording and Voice Talents - the TTS voice narration produced by Speech-Over replaces professional studio voice-over recording costing $80 per minute of narration and eliminates scheduling bottlenecks. Script authors can now produce and update narration by themselves any time, any place - eliminating production delays.

· Easy to Change Narration -  Working with narration clips makes it  easy to change PowerPoint voice narration on a slide. Using Speech-Over’s powerful editing features, authors can manipulate the PowerPoint narration on the clip level, reordering the clips and moving them between objects. With TTS voices, they change the narration by just editing the narration clip text. Easy updating lets you keep presentations accurate and up to date.

· Synchronize  Narration with Visuals  - PowerPoint lets authors add voice narration to a slide, but doesn't let them synchronize the PowerPoint narration with the slide’s visual animations. Speech-Over’s Voice Effect Marshalling technology automatically delivers a synchronized PowerPoint narration that projects the learning impact of a live presenter. By building the narration from individual clips linked to screen objects, Speech-Over lets you synchronize voices with PowerPoint slide animations without time-line editing.

· Professional Voice Quality - uses the best, most natural and accurate text-to-speech voices from NeoSpeech and Acapela. Modulate text to speech voice inflections with the dedicated SAPI  editor
