Good morning I have downloaded the Microsoft platform voices in English. I am running them on my win 7 64 machine and WE 8.4.
Funny that all the voices appear to be female? I wonder why? I haven't decided if I like the girls yet but I have noticed that when reading e-mail they pronounce things differently. I am used to eloquence Read. When I use Hazel, Zirapro or Helen they report FW: in the subjects of email as Fort Worth instead of F W. They are all pretty slow in response to the feedback from the keyboard. You are waiting on them to respond. Speeding them up doesn't help. They just talk faster when they finally decide to talk to you. Can these voices utilize the exception dictionaries? That way maybe I could fix the Fort Worth problem? They also could use some help on the way they pronounce each individual letters. They are not very clear. They actually read text fine if you are just going to listen to them read. I don't much care for the voices as far as working with them. On an aside. With all the talk about synths, I was looking at the sappy voices. There are a bunch of Sappi 5 voices listed on this Win 7 machine but none of them actually work. Why is that? Do you have to purchase them too? Or is there a setting that has to be changed to use Sappi voices? Thanks Shannon If you reply to this message it will be delivered to the original sender only.
