    Problem with the Text to Speech voices in Windows 10


    Hi,


    I am running a Windows 10 machine with all current updates installed. From the get go all text-to-speech voices sound very distorted and noisy, high pitched. It is by far not how the usual Windows 10 voices sound.


    YouTube videos play fine with good sound. Just the voices are not functioning right.


    To fix this, tried the following

    - Reinstalled Windows 10

    - Ran sfc to check installation integrity

    - Did control panel troubleshooting of system sound

    - Installed all available Win 10 patches up to date

    - Tried changing TTS /Cortana parameters, changed languages US/Canada


    So far, nothing helped. How do I fix this? Thank you.

    :)

    How do you change the text to speech voice in a (Windows) vbscript?

    Hey guys,

    I'm trying to create a text to speech vbscript. The problem I'm having is that I can only select between 3 voices. I have 8 available in Windows 10.

    Here is my code:

    Code: set voice = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice") set voice.Voice = voice.GetVoices.Item(1) voice.Rate = 1 voice.Volume = 90 voice.Speak TextMessage[/quote] I get a vbs error message when I choose a number greater than 2 for the voice.GetVoices.Item(1) parameter.

    Error: 0x80045039
    Code: 80045039
    Source: (null)

    Any suggestions?

    TIA,

    grecinos

    word 2010 text to speech cannot change voice


    Hello

    I have enabled text to speech on Windows 10 and have selected MS David desktop voice and it seems to work fine when I test it however when I use text to speech on Word 2010 the voice is always that of MS Hazel desktop and I do not seem to be able to change it. Any suggestion?

    Many thanks,

    Problem with the Text to Speech voices in Windows 10

    How do you change the text to speech voice in a (Windows) vbscript?

    I've been doing some research on this topic for about an hour. All of the tutorials that I've found indicates to use this format in order to change the voice:
    Code: set voice.Voice = voice.GetVoices.Item(i)[/quote] I found the code that returns the number of available text to speech voices via a vbscript:
    Code: voice.GetVoices.Count[/quote] When I run that line of code, I get "3" as the return value. I clearly have 8 installed, though. My intuition is that there must be a way to enable all available voices somewhere in the Windows 10 OS. Just a guess...

    Any thoughts?
