Description

Trados TTS provides two new features for Trados Studio:

1. Text to Speech capability
2. Footpedal support

Full details of the plugin and how it works can be found in the RWS Community Wiki.

Text to Speech
Trados TTS (Text to Speech) is a plugin which allows you to listen to the audio of a segment (source or target) or to the entire file.
We use the Microsoft Azure Text to Speech solution which is available through their Cognitive Services to generate the audio file, and through this we offer many features:
- set a default to play source OR target
- use keyboard shortcuts to toggle between source/target
- use keyboard shortcuts for common requirements when using Text to Speech
- change the reading speed
- change the reading voice (based on what is offerred by Microsoft)
- map unsupported languages to be able to play any variant of a supported language
- control what's read when working with track changes

Footpedal Support
The plugin currently only supports footpedals using the USB HID driver supplied by VEC.
An example would be the Infinity USB Foot Pedal (IN-USB-2) which is easily obtained through Amazon for example. However, if you have a footpedal that supports programmable inputs then you could map it to the keyboard shorcuts in Studio.
The main actions provided by the supported footpedals are:

Right pedal - move to the next segment. If you hold the pedal down you will navigate through the segments automatically until you release the pedal.
Left pedal - move to the previous segment. If you hold the pedal down you will navigate through the segments automatically until you release the pedal.
Middle pedal - Play/ Pause the sound. To hear the audio playback press and hold the middle pedal. To pause the audio simply release the foot pedal.

XLIFF Manager for Trados Studio

By Trados AppStore Team

The Problem You need to share files for translation or review and the people you are sharing with don't use Studio, they can't support SDLXLIFF, and they want to use a CAT tool. You also do so much of this you need to have a better way of managing the process. You want to be able to share one XLIFF on a multi-lingual project and have the translators complete the target language. The Solution The XLIFF Manager is the solution to this problem as it provides the following core features: - export your Studio projects as vanilla XLIFF 1.2 files - export your Studio projects as Google Polyglot XLIFF files - choose whether the target language should be set or not on export - choose whether you export all the segments in your files or not - import the translated XLIFF files back into Studio and update your Studio projects - map unsupported languages from your clients system in support of the import - generate reports of the changed work - be in control of the end to end process with a project management view in Studio Planned Enhancements for the future updates - progress bars while waiting for the export/import. Useful for large projects - support for tracked changes in the import - add support for an XLIFF 2.1 export - add support for an SDLXLIFF export (to help with the management of an SDLXLIFF file workflow outside of a package) - we're open to suggestions in the RWS Community!
