yes sir!

Nice. Thanks Mark. That was extremely easy with the included documentation.

how does the native application handle frequency lookups from MSFS @markcellis? I'm finding that my frequency being set to say, "Minneapolis Center" is not being properly categorized as "center" and gets set to "approach" etc.

👀 nice! Looking forward to that

@Dave-Pilot2ATC is there a place where P2A generates the list of SAPI voices that I can "delete"/refresh to see if it can populate the neural voices?

Continuing to share info as I get it. Lorby Axis And Ohs (which uses SAPI) is showing both versions (Standard and Neural), but P2A is not: The full list of Polly voices are listed in registry @ `Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens`:

Here's API (non-SAPI) documentation for reference: https://aws.amazon.com/blogs/machine-learning/upgrade-your-amazon-polly-voices-to-neural-with-one-line-of-code/

Here's a link to documentation on how to do it non-SAPI, I'm not sure how these are making their way to P2A but I'm hoping that if a voice has `"SupportedEngines": Neural`, that it would be an option to select that voice. Any help is appreciated!!

I mean, it's fine to give your opinion, but this statement (and the rest of the post) ignores the concerns that people have in this thread and concludes "ASFS gud because it does a thing".

would be really useful if this was possible, even if its a hacky fix. Is there a way to restart only the "voice engine" part of P2A without having to instantiate the entire application again @Dave-Pilot2ATC? The current "workaround" is Start P2A Wait for it to load Click `Config` Go to `Voices` tab `Test` one of the voices that uses Polly If no sound comes out, quit P2A Start back at 1 ..sometimes you need to do this 4, 5 times...maybe more 😞

Are you saying that this could be used with P2A for offline clearances using CPDLC? If so, this is exactly what I was talking about in the fenix discord a few days ago. I would be very interested in this.

It's weird though because some neural voices do play in the player, but are unavailable to be used when trying to access them via 3rd party apps.
