Hello,

NaturalReader voices are not available anymore, they have changed their policy of usage.

If you want a voice better than MarySpeech, you can use LocalSpeech, which uses the voices of your Windows system.

You can use the VoiceRss if your system is not a Windows platform.

ciao,

yes, i know. Now i use MarySpeech (Lucia) and the LocalSpeech have only female voice in italian.

I would appreciate a male voice for InMoov.

For now the only solution is Giorgio in Amazon Polly, but require apikey access (free for only one year)...no good for an free open project

thank you Gael

Are you on Windows?

If yes you can use LocalSpeech. LocalSpeech has a male Italian voice: Cosimo

"service_5_Mouth.config"

"Speechengine=LocalSpeech"

"VoiceName=0"

To see which voices are available on your Windows:

Press the Windows logo key + I on your keyboard to open the Settings app.
    Select Time and Language(heure et langue). In the next window, select Speech(voix) on the left panel.
    On the right panel, you will see options such as Speech language, where you can change the language of the narrator. There are also options to change the voice of the narrator, to make Windows recognize non-native accents of the language, and a speed bar to adjust how fast the narrator talks.

You might need to follow this to get recognized voices in MRL after installing it on Windows, I had to do it on most of my machines:

If you want additional voices for the text-to-speech tool, you are in the right place. In this article, we are going to show you how to unlock new text-to-speech voices in Windows 10. You can do this using registry tweaks:

    Press the Windows logo key + R on your keyboard to open the Run(executer) dialog box.
   Write regedit in the search area and press Enter. This will open the Windows Editor.
    In the Windows Editor, navigate to the following location: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE >  SOFTWARE > Microsoft > Speech_OneCore > Voices > Tokens.

    Here, you will find the list of voices installed on your PC.
    Right-click on the one you want to enable and select Export from the drop-down menu.
    Navigate to where you saved the .reg and open it with Notepad. Now, you need to edit the text. Let us say you decided to enable Mark’s voice for the US English operating system. Here is how the original file looks:

    Now, this is how the edited file will look, note the red lines, this is where there is a difference, also note that we now have two location keys, with the full text under the registry. This is where the problem resides, Windows needs to have these extra key path to let other apps "see" them :

    After you have edited the document, you should save and exit Notepad; then you need to import the file back to the Windows registry. To do this, run the file. For the changes to take effect, you need to restart your computer. Note that your user account should have administrative privileges for this process to work normally.
    Once your PC is restarted, you will be able to select the desired voice from your Speech settings.

 

Hi Gael,

in win7 it is not possible to download additional languages from sistem. The only possibility, for now, is female voice of Silvia.
Alternatives I've found is "eSpeak", but the italian voice is very poor quality.

I don't found the "Cosimo" voice in separate file for install in the Win7

alternatives is "Giorgio" by Ivona, very good italian voice...for 39 Euro...

help?

ciao
