I'm looking for additional voices for the Text to Speech engine and how to install them. I tried searching but I was unable to find anything that would apply to Windows 7. To clarify, you go into control panel, Speech Recognition, and then open the Text to Speech menu. Under Voice Selection there's a dropdown menu with only one option, Microsoft Anna. XP had Microsoft Sam (who I liked better) and was able to load in third party voices.
But I cannot figure out how to download or install any other voices into Windows 7. Has anyone done this before and able to help? Edit for clarification: My reason for this is for use with the Ventrilo chat client, which uses the Windows TTS engine so it can only use voices that are installed on the computer. I don't much care for the default Microsoft Anna, and more choices are always better, so I'm looking how to install additional voices, especially Microsoft Sam. I am also hoping to find an alternate voice to Ana. I am hearing impaired, my challenge is the higher voice ranges.
I adjusted Ana to the lowest setting possible, and slowed her down, but am still having challenges hearing her. What I need is a baritone or bass voice, even a tenor voice is a challenge to hear.
I am also having issues with 'double reading' it's as if she's reading every sentence twice, on top of each other -but not simultaneously, a sort of echo. I went to the link posted above, but it was an article that was above my head. Any help would be appreciated. Similar help and support threads Thread Forum I would like to use the text to speech function built in to Windows 7 to have my computer read Word and PDF files aloud. I can find the place to select the voice and reading speed, but can not figure out how to activate the text to speech function to read my documents.
