Ezb Has A Nice Female Voice. The Only Problem My Robot Is Male.

Skip to comments   Jump to end

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

MEL I FOUND YOUR ANSWER TO YOUR PROBLEM

  1. Open up your web browser. It can be any web browser, Internet Explorer, Safari, Firefox, Opera or Google Chrome.
  2. Go to this address: http:
  3. Scroll down a little bit (if necessary) then click the "download" link. It will take you to Cnet.
  4. Scroll down a little bit again (if necessary) then Click the "download now" link.
  5. Follow the rest of the steps on your computer.
  6. Once Speakonia is installed, open up Speakonia. Microsoft Sam won't be on Speakonia just yet.
  7. Open back up your web browser (if your web browser was closed).
  8. Go back to this address: http://www.cfs-technologies.com/home/?id=1.4(if your web browser was closed or at another page).
  9. Scroll down a little bit (if necessary) and then click the "Microsoft Voices Mary, Sam and Mike (7.5mb)" link.
  10. Follow the rest of the steps on your computer.
  11. Once the Microsoft voices are installed, Close Speakonia (if Speakonia was still opened).
  12. Open back up Speakonia.
  13. Hooray! Microsoft Sam is now installed!

MEL USE THIS DIRECT LINK TO INSTALL IT THEN REBOOT SPEAKONIA direct link

THEN GO TO STEP 8 TO GET MICROSOFT SAM near bottom of page left side

It would be nice to select any of the voices installed on the machine in either Windows 7 or XP and have them work. I use Windows 7 machines for my bots right now.....I may move them to my Home Automation Computer which is XP PRO only because I can't get my older Caller ID modem driver to work on Windows 7..but I am probably going to get a USB modem anyway.

MEL when you install it and have any problems ,since you are not great in programming or software let me know will help

another reason not to like WINDOWS 7,very hard to change the voices,reading the microsoft website forum and other dont like it too because some cant stand a female voice 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

that's what I have . . . . Windows7. The big thing about windows8 is that everyone will have a touch screen. They are moving to do away with the mouse and keyboard and use touch screen and Kinect like devices.
