Required:
• Twine
• Internet connection
• Audacity with mp3 exporter addon installed.
Not suggesting for one second I'm the first to have this idea, but I've just spent a good few hours searching for a sound clip of a woman saying "Warning! Oxygen levels critical!"
As you might expect I drew a blank everywhere. And then the solution hit me.
This would work best if your game uses limited dialogue, but if you go here: text-to-speech you can type in your lines and have a variety of voices speak it out loud. The voices sound quite authentic and there's a variety of effects that can be added.
Imagine how good this could be if you're making a sci-fi game with an android as one of the characters?
Simply hit the record button in Audacity, run the text-to-speech, and then trim it up in Audacity before exporting as an mp3.
In my case it was perfect, as I needed an automated voice anyway. I added the reverb effect and it sounds very good indeed.
