Hello,
Windows has always come with free text-to-speech voices. Windows 10 Anniversary Update, shipped August 2016, comes with new voices too. But there’s a catch: these are all Windows Mobile voices, not SAPI5 voices. Text to speech for windows 10 free download - Windows 10, Apple Safari, Speech to Text for Windows 10, and many more programs. Free text to speech voices. Paid Windows 10. You can download some more voices from many free TTS voices (which may not be so good). One of the sources for downloading free Microsoft and LTS TTS voices is Zero2000. You can also purchase very high quality TTS voices for Windows from companies like Ivona, Cepstral or CereProc. Source Choose Text-to-Speech Voice in Windows 10.
I need to do an installer that adds new Language Voices onto a Windows 10 computer user.
I read some post that mentioned this manual procedure but that doesn't help on my request because it requires that user will install the language:
What I would like to do is to Run the installation of the language.
Here, I see that for old Windows version (but not for Windows 10!) is possible to download and install the Runtime and the Package language:
Microsoft Speech Platform - Runtime Languages (Version 11)
I tried to install the runtime and to install the French package MSSpeech_SR_fr-FR_TELE.msi and MSSpeech_TTS_fr-FR_Hortense.msi but it doesn't work.
I think that those installers are not designed for Windows 10 because nothing will appear in Windows 10 Language Settings and onto the registry:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREMicrosoftSpeechVoicesTokens
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESOFTWAREWOW6432NodeMicrosoftSPEECHVoicesTokens
Just to try, I've manually added Chinese and English language as additional languages (following the first link that I paste here) and that language will appear as I expected onto the Windows Registry Keys that I mentioned (and on the system).
So, someone has an idea what my Installer should do to add new languages on Windows 10?
Thanks
Cheers
