Hi. Note, Windows xp is not in the list of supported operating systems, and I have not put it on my xp computer, so I don't know if they work on xp. I use them on windows 7 and they do run on vista according to the website.
To run these voices. Download and install the Microsoft speech platform version 11 runtime at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27225#overview next you have to get the voices. You can find them at http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27224 I use zira pro as I think this is the best English voice. They also have other languages available. Let me know if you need more help setting it up. e-mail [email protected] skype norman.king18 -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Lennie Sent: Tuesday, June 05, 2012 8:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] How to add new voices to NVDA Hi Norman, Yes, I am interested in the Microsoft voices.
