I think you are confusing the two...
The Say command uses a synthetic speech system to actually speak
the words you enter in a string. Due to the fact that the speech is
entirely synthetic based on vocal sounds/phonetics the quality is
obviously poor compared to that of an actual human (well most humans
anyway).
An IFF sample is produced by actually recording a sound. This sound
can be anything from a bird chirping to a person speaking. Due to
the sound-data being record in real-time and stored in digital format,
the sound quality is entirely dependant upon the frequency of the
sampling rate. Personally, I have found that a frequency of 11,000-
12,000K captures speech at a quality good enough for use in
games and such.
You can hear such speech (recorded at 11,500K) in the SideShooter
Demo6 which is currently available from the CBATNAM webpage...
Anyway, I can't quite see why you would want to convert the
synthetic speech to a sample, but I assume it is because you do not
have access to a sound-sampler correct?
If this is the case, just e-mail me a list of the speech samples you
need and I will record a few for you. The quality will be MUCH better
and I don't know how you could convert the Synthetic speech to a
sample as I have never tried to do this before.
Of course, it's certainly possible (nearly everything is) and if you had
a thorough understanding of the narrator.device then you could
probably grab each word as the data was being passed to Paula. A
better method might be to create your own synthetic speech system,
but unless you have a tremendous interest in this sort of thing, you'd
be better off just having the speech sampled...
Take care,
GARFIELD
