How to import an audio for a scene or the entire simulation in iSpring TalkMaster

You can import files individually by clicking the Import icon on the respective messages. 

If you want to send the script for professional audio recording, or record all audios in a third-party application, you may want to use the Export Script to a printable document and Bulk Importoptions. Follow these steps:

  1. Click the Export Script button on the Voice Over toolbar.

  2. Save it to a .doc file on your computer and then send to a voiceover actor. You can find one on voices.com.

  3. If you open the script file, you will see the script text and the file names, needed for bulk import. Make sure that you match the particular recording with the respective filename (inform your voice actor about that).
