Text-to-Speech Engine Mode
This option allows you to choose a voice for your narrator that is most suited to your audience
-
When using the "TruVoice" option, be sure to use a male voice, as the female voices do not work as well.
-
While the AT&T voices are great, you must pay to use them: $35 per voice or ~$55 for three voices.

Photo Gallery
There are two options for adding photos to your package:
-
Choose from the galleries that have been created and loaded into CIAS (see figure on the right) or
-
Create your own gallery (see instructions below)
Tip: In both cases, CIAS randomly selects a photo from the gallery to use for each question of the survey and screening sections

Creating Your Own Gallery
-
Click on "Admin Home" on the left-side menu
-
Select "Manage Photo" found under the heading "Photo Gallery"
-
To view the photos in an existing gallery and/or add a photo to such a gallery, choose the desired gallery from the option "Filter by Category."
-
Once the photos from the desired category are displayed, you can click "Add Photo" to add to the existing category.
-
You will be required to name the file, and then upload the desired photo.
-
-
To create your own category with unique photos, choose "Add Category" on the "Manage Photo" page. Name your category and click "Add"
-
Once your category is created, repeat step 3, selecting the category you have just created.
