I upgraded my system to Windows 10 and now in the Speech Settings control only female voice sounds are available. Is there a way to get male voice sounds or is this something Microsoft did? Tell me I'm not stuck with the Irritating British female voice.
@merne Thanks for the link. I have tried to change things there but it won't let me change out of English (UK).
@cem, I just don't like to options given - nothing against the British!
@Bhuston, Bob are you using Windows home version 10 or pro thanks
Also Bob what version did you have before you upgraded to version 10
The reason I ask is because if you have home version they don't have a language pack but if you have the version pro version 10 Microsoft has a language pack only for version 10 pro at least what I've seen on the Internet I'm still investigating I may have to install version 10 which I really don't want to on one of my computers to test
I have the home version and I had 8.1 before.
OK, I got it back to Microsoft David. Some of the speech setting weren't installed with the upgrade. Thanks for everyones help.
@bhouston, nice to hear that it's working again.
I'm reviving this thread because I'm back to the same problem. My computer is set to Microsoft David and the computer speaks with that voice, however, I get a british female voice out of the EZB. I have tried deleting the Speech Settings control from my project and then setting it up again - no change. In fact the EZB speaks with the british female voice without this control added in my project. Anyone else come across this? Any suggestions on how to get a male voice thru the EZB?
It's impossible for SayEZB() to have a different voice than Say() - at least from a code perspective. The two use the same OS function. Except one writes to the sound card and the other writes to a byte stream.
To be clear - are you stating that SayEZB() and Say() are different voices?
-or-
Is the operating system using different voice than ARC?
