Hi,
EZB has a nice female voice. The only problem my robot is Male. I tried to change the voice in EZB and it stays the same. It told me at one point, I need to add the control program to windows. How do I do this? and how do I change the voice according to the EZB setting. I am selecting Voice synth Settings.
Thanks,
Mel
Thanks,

its under speech tools if it has it,havent used windows 7 in long time
what i found out about WINDOWS 7 why some like it ,mostly because its the lastest model,like a new trend and has more bells and whistles then WINDOWS XP PRO has
but all that is not needed for robots,just like the very big robot engineers say
doesnt give more speed unless you add a faster computer ,thats why NO NEW robot designs are using it
but soon will change when the new WINDOWS 8 comes out,another upgrade
then WINDOWS 9 another upgrade and so on
but i did found out that WINDOWS 7 GREAT FOR home computer,programming,movies and graphic programs and microsoft office
I have it on an XP computer. You would have to check to see if it works with Windows 7.

The addition of voices probably will not help you if you are just using ARC. Right now the way the control is setup it is not allowing selection of installed voices, nor can you save the configuration which has been brought up in several posts. So even if you bought a voice like AT&T naturally speaking voice (which is what I use with my Home Automation system), you would not be able to use it using ARC unless DJ changes the control....

in windows xp pro my default is a male voice,and i removed the female voices also
and i get a male voice
i also just check something after i post this there is settings in ARC for speech ,male ,female ,not set neutral,plus speed and if adult,child,teen and senior and more,go to speech and then settings in ARC MEL
i see in windows 7 the default is anna,here is a link to change it to male voice
changing female voice in windows 7
I saw the settings in EZB, but only part of them worked. I could change the speed by speeding the voice up and also slowing it down. But, It would not let me select Male,teen,child,elderly, etc.
???? I did not quite understand the last two sentences you said there.
@kkeast,
Thanks to both for the advice.
Thanks Anyway. I have already decided to use the female voice.
WHERE IT SAYS TO click voice settings ,then next line is for you
1.To open Narrator click the Start button , and then, in the search box, type Narrator. In the list of results, click Narrator.
2.Click Voice Settings, and then make any of the following adjustments:
.To select a different voice, click the voice you want to use in the Select Voice box. (this you change to male ) MEL
.For a faster voice, select a number in the Set Speed list. The higher the number, the faster the voice.
.For a louder voice, select a number in the Set Volume list. The higher the number, the louder the voice.
.For a higher-pitched voice, select a number in the Set Pitch list. The higher the number, the higher the pitch. A higher-pitched voice can be easier for some people to hear.
thanks for your help.
i am glad i do not like windows 7 ,too many problems
might check with microsoft why yours only have a female voice
you can add other tts voices to windows 7 if only have microsoft anna then on the drop down list it will show them
internet search has alot of info on this

let me know will help
you shold be able to change to any voice like in WINDOWS XP PRO
but i guess some like WINDOWS 7 to have the lastest software on the robot ,doesnt give you more speed unless you buy a faster computer for WINDOWS 7,SO YES it will be faster
so far never seen any ROBOT design comming out or beening designed using WINDOWS 7
YET THEY HAVE THE VERY TOP ENGINEERS and programmers that can get WINDOWS 7 BEFORE ANYONE ELSE,some times a year before its on the market
