Windows 10: Changeing TTS voice

I cannot get the text-to-speech voice and speed to change. It allows me to preview the voice and speed that I pick, but it will not change the voice and speed that I select as it keeps returning to the default. How do I fix this on Windows 10

Is it possible to change Cortana's TTS voice?


Is it possible to change Cortana's TTS voice to something from a different TTS voice provider such as, for example, IVONA? Alternatively would it be possible to morph the voice somehow, so it sounds different, kind of like those voice changer programs that people typically use on their own voices?

 

Use mobile TTS voices as desktop TTS voices

Hello,

Recently I've been trying to set my Windows 10 TTS in japanese.

I've already downloaded Japanese language pack.

It seems that the TTS voices appearing in Windows 10 "Settings" app don't match the ones appearing in the "Speech Properties" windows (which is findable in Control panel).

Windows 10 (mine, at least) actually uses the voice set up in Speech Properties, and doesn't really use the Setting app setup.

I'd like to set my TTS voice to Ayumi, yet Ayumi isn't a choice in Speech Properties (see the screenshot below).

That said, I have to questions:

1 - What is the difference between those two settings, and why don't they feature the same voice?

2 - What can I do to set Ayumi Mobile as my actual TTS voice (in Speech Properties).

Please note that Ayumi is already set as my TTS voice in Settings app, but as I said above, Windows 10 doesn't seem to care about these settings.

Thanks.





PS: I don't really know if I chose the right topic for this question, feel free to redirect me to another if needed.

 

Use mobile TTS voices as desktop TTS voices

Hi,

Thanks for your answer.

Unfortunately, the links you provided are explaining how to use TTS in programs and code, but there's not much about how to modify the TTS voice in general.

As for my Windows version, I keep it up-to-date and do every update I have. The last update was on 12/9/2016, and I have another one scheduled for tonight.

EDIT: Nothing changed after the update.
