Sapi 5 Windows 10



How to get all SAPI 5 English (and other languages) voices for Windows 10. Switching from Mac to Windows 10 — Text-to-Speech service integration. SAPI 4 voices are only available on Windows 2000 and later Windows NT-based operating systems. While SAPI 5 versions of Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary are downloadable only as a Merge Module, 1 the installable versions may be installed on end users' systems by speech applications such as Microsoft Reader. Hello Everybody, I'm a teacher and want to use the Speech Recogntion Engine German in my Applications.But I couldn't find SAPI 5.5 and Speech Recognition Engine in German.Would you like to help me please? Jun 09, 2012 Hello Everybody, I'm a teacher and want to use the Speech Recogntion Engine German in my Applications.But I couldn't find SAPI 5.5 and Speech Recognition Engine in German.Would you like to help me please? This Program uses the SAPI 5.1. For me it works great on Win XP 32 Bit. But is there any way to get this to work under a Win7 64 Bit System? The Console Program is open source, but im not very familiar with SAPI and audio processing, so rewriting the entire Code would not really be an option for me.

question about sapi 5 voices in windows 10

Hi,
Windows 10 home, build 1803.
So in looking at text to speech voices in control panel, it appears I only have two. Microsoft Zira and David.
However, going into settings and speech options there, I see Mark, Linda and others.
Yet, programs that use tts are only using Zira by default. Is there a way to change this behavior and make them use some of the other voices e.g. Mark?
Thanks for any help

In short, you're Microsoft Mark is a OneCore or Mobile voice, and only Assistive Technologies such as JAWS, NVDA, and Narrator supports them as far as I know. The voices you see in Settings --> Speech are for the OneCore voices, whereas the voices you see under Control Panel --> Speech are the regular SAPI5 voices that you are used to.
See this somewhat still accurate message on how to use these voices as SAPI5 ones. I'm not sure why I have the rationale of using the 32-bit variant rather than 64-bit, but I think it depends on which version of SAPI5 your software supports (i.e. 32 or 64-bit). It certainly doesn't hurt-to do it for both architectures if you are unsure. The instructions are by no means official, and only you can determine whether you have the required ability to accomplish them:

I can confirm that what you'll see in Control Panel for TTS voices will only be desktop voices. I happen to have installed Hazel (UK English) at one point and she shows up there, too.
I also installed a wide number of One Core voices, and those can be selected in NVDA (and, I'd expect, JAWS and Narrator, too).

Hi,

So, if I'm understanding this right, some of the voices (like Microsoft Mark) have now turned into core voices?

Which means that an app that uses sapi 5 (like discord) will only use what the default text to speech is set to in control panel?

thanks

Voices such as Microsoft Mark were never standard SAPI5 voices in the first place, so there is no such thing as them turning into OneCore voices, i.e., they were always OneCore voices from the very start. And yes, legacy desktop applications that rely on the default SAPI5 voice would use whatever is chosen as the default voice as set by Control Panel --> Speech. However, if we are talking about an UWP app , then the default voice would be presumably chosen from Settings --> Speech.

You can use Microsoft Mark, for example, as a SAPI5 voice if you so chose by following the instructions found here. If you are using a 64-bit system, it wouldn't hurt to duplicate both registry locations -- with and without the WOW6432Node. Then it's just a matter of setting said OneCore voice as the default voice through the Speech entry of the Control Panel. There are instructions for accessing said applet for various operating system configurations.

Hope this helps,
Timothy
