Windows 10: Windows 10 Text-to-speech doesn't work

Hi,

I installed Windows 10 on my PC and Cortana doesn't work. System audio, notifications, videos in browser etc are working correctly but text to speech doesn't work. Voice samples in Speech settings (Microsoft David, Microsoft Zira and Microsoft Mark ) are not working too.


I installed US English language pack with all feautures (Text to speech, typewriting...)

Installing updates didn't help.

I checked if the system files are corrupted.

Reinstalling audio driver didn't fix the problem.

Reinstalling the system more times with the new ISO File didn't fix the problem.

:)

 

text to speech

Do you heard of software which can read text in any application and convert text to mp3, wav, ogg or vox files? I known one - Alive Text to Speech , but it is not a free software, i can use it for 20 days.

Do you recommend a free software?


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
