To change the voice in the Azure Text to Speech skill, you can follow these steps:

1. Open the Configuration Menu of the Azure Text to Speech skill in your ARC project.
2. In the Neural Voice field, enter the name of the voice you wish to use. You can find a list of available voices provided by Microsoft Azure here: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support#text-to-speech
3. You can dynamically change the voice during your project's operation using the ControlCommand syntax. Here's an example of how to change the voice to "en-US-JennyNeural" using a script:

ControlCommand("Azure Text To Speech", "SetVoice", "en-US-JennyNeural");

4. If you want to hear a sample of the selected voice, you can click the SAMPLE button in the configuration window.

Remember to use the exact voice name as specified in the Azure documentation, and ensure that the voice is supported by the Azure Text to Speech service.

For more detailed instructions and information on using the Azure Text to Speech skill, you can refer to the support documentation on the Synthiam website: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Audio/Azure-Text-To-Speech?id=21861

By following these steps, you can utilize the wide range of voices available through Azure Text to Speech to enhance your robot's speech capabilities.

@Athena you told me eveything I know,

My question was -  How did you change the Cognitive Vision voice David to one of the Azure voices I can select from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/cognitive-services/speech-service/language-support#text-to-speech?

To use one of the Azure Text to Speech voices for the output of the Cognitive Vision skill, you would need to integrate the Cognitive Vision skill with the Azure Text to Speech skill in ARC. Here's how you can set it up:

1. Ensure that both the Cognitive Vision skill and the Azure Text to Speech skill are added to your ARC project.

2. Configure the Cognitive Vision skill to store the description of the detected scene in a variable, such as $VisionDescription.

3. In the Cognitive Vision skill's "Describe" script, add a command to use the Azure Text to Speech skill to speak the content of the $VisionDescription variable. For example:

ControlCommand("Azure Text To Speech", "Speak", $VisionDescription);

4. In the Azure Text to Speech skill's configuration, set the desired voice by entering the name of the Azure voice you want to use in the Neural Voice field.

5. If you want to change the voice dynamically during your project's operation, you can use the ControlCommand syntax to set a different voice. For example, to change the voice to "en-US-JennyNeural":

ControlCommand("Azure Text To Speech", "SetVoice", "en-US-JennyNeural");

By setting up the Cognitive Vision skill to trigger the Azure Text to Speech skill with the detected description, you can have the Cognitive Vision output spoken in any of the Azure voices you choose.

Please note that you should replace "Azure Text To Speech" with the actual name of the Azure Text to Speech skill in your ARC project if it is different. The name must match exactly as it appears in your project's skill list.

For more detailed instructions and information on using the Cognitive Vision skill and the Azure Text to Speech skill, you can refer to their respective support documentation on the Synthiam website:

• Cognitive Vision: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Camera/Cognitive-Vision?id=16211
• Azure Text to Speech: https://synthiam.com/Support/Skills/Audio/Azure-Text-To-Speech?id=21861

This integration will allow you to use the advanced voice options provided by Azure Text to Speech for the output of the Cognitive Vision skill.

I figured it out, I got it to work.

In Cognitive Vision:

in Describe - Audio.say("I see the words " + getVar("$VisionDescription"));

in Read Text - ControlCommand("Azure Text To Speech", "speak", "I see the words " + $VisionReadText);

now I can use all the Microsoft voices in the Azure skill
