Traditional Text-to-Speech systems break down prosody into separate linguistic analysis and acoustic prediction steps that are governed by independent models. The patterns of stress and intonation in spoken language are called prosody. With the human-like natural prosody and clear articulation of words, neural Text-to-Speech has significantly reduced listening fatigue when you interact with AI systems. The Text-to-Speech feature of Speech service on Azure has been fully upgraded to the neural TTS engine, which uses deep neural networks to make the voices of computers nearly indistinguishable from the recordings of people. Text-to-Speech (TTS), also known as speech synthesis, enables your applications to speak. Learn more about neural Text-to-Speech features Go to the pricing page and check the pricing details.

MICROSOFT TTS VOICES TOM WINDOWS
That happens to be the voice I use as my default voice in Windows as I find it the most natural of them.Īfter installing all of the voices, I ended up with 28 voices in Windows 10, but only these 8 are SAPI5 I guess. Windows had another male voice "Mark" that is part of the standard USA voices but apparently it is one of the mobile voices as it does not show up. You do need to make sure you set your region and Languages to the same country of the language you want spoken. These will all speak in TextAloud with the foreign accent. Here is the list of voices I now see in TextAloud. Mobile apparently is what all new voices are, and will be in the future. I installed all of the Microsoft voices and found I did pick up a few additional voices. I have not found any place where they were called "mobile".
MICROSOFT TTS VOICES TOM UPDATE
In windspring update it appears the names of the voices in some places do indicate "desktop". I have TA 4 installed on drive D: and TS 2 is still installed on drive C. When I test the voices to set the default in MS they all work just fine and identify them self as the correct vice. I have MS Mark selected as the text-to-speech voice in windows 10. I assume these are all SAPI5 as I think that is what MS has. I thought TextAloud would show all valid voices that are installed. These are all the current English Microsoft voices in Windows 10. What is actually installed for Microsoft voices is: I would like to use all the installed voices if it is possible. Not really concerned about it as I want to get on TS 4. My old TS version 2 shows the same installed with the exception of Microsoft Hazel which is missing. TextAloud only shows the following voices installed. I have all the MS English voices installed on my computer running Windows 10.
