TTS for Teams
Hi Jdreioe
Have you considered using an app like Virtual Audio Cable VB-Audio Virtual Apps (vb-audio.com) ?
It's a sound device that provides an input and an output device. Select the VAC input as your speakers, and the VAC Output as your mic, then any noise from your PC will become your mic input. Set the listen settings on the input so you can actually hear the meeting. This way your computer sound is turned into your mic input, so you could use a soundboard, TTS etc.
Jdreioe It works for me on a PC just fine, I did test this before suggesting it.
StevenC365 I have installed the VB-Audio Virtual Cable and it seems to work once or twice and then no longer works properly. I am trying to use it with Cisco Jabber and Teams. I was able to call out through Jabber on my PC to my cell phone and it worked twice. It allowed me to speak and also use narration in Word and read text out loud in Edge out to the cell phone. I tried doing the same on a Teams call and the person on the other end could not hear any of the PC generated audio. The same thing happened when I tried again through Jabber. Does anyone have any suggestions on what to look for/at?
mjkehl3 Sorry, you're at the end of how I can help, I use VAC regularly when recording videos showing Teams features, but the other way round (sound out of Teams into my recording app). It's never failed me.
Are you sure you were not muted in Teams?
StevenC365 I am positive I was not muted as I was in a Teams call with both my colleague and myself having a conversation. When I tried to send the Word narration or Edge read out loud to my colleague via the VAC, it would play on my end but they could not hear it on their end.
