March 19Mar 19 Hi! I've deleted all Online voices and have all available Natural voices installed, yet the only options I have for voices in my dropdown are three Desktop voices and one text-to-speech voice (en-Helen). Any other fixes I should applying to get Natural voices working? I think they DID work when I first installed (and I just uninstalled and re-installed v3.0.2.9)... but I messed around, and now no matter what I do - no Natural voices appear in the Voices dropdown. Can't get a good screenshot of the dropdown, but you get the idea: a few Desktop voices like Zira, a bunch of SAPI New Voice listings that don't do anything, and that's it. How can I get the Natural voices to show as options I can use? Thanks.
March 19Mar 19 Commercial Member On the Voices tab of Settings, use the Install MS SAPIVoices button on the left. That will bring up a Text to Speech Voice installer where all your TTS voices are listed and you can install additional voices one at a time. There are 7 English voices for US, Australia, Canada and the UK. Also, you can try the English-India and some of the voices, like French, that might work ok. The Natural voices from Microsoft have been rendered unavailable by Microsoft. The AWS voices are quite good and have a pretty long free trial. Even after the trial, the "Standard" AWS voices are very inexpensive. The Neural Voices can get pretty pricey, depending on how much you fly. Dave
