Where is a problem?īalabolka is the 32-bit application. But the list of available voices is still empty. I have installed the 64-bit Runtime package for Microsoft Speech Platform and the English voices. My computer is running the 64-bit version of Windows. The Microsoft mobile voice will appear in the list of the available voices in Balabolka. Download the archive, extract the file for your language and for your version of the operating system ('mobile_x86.reg' for 32-bit and 'mobile_圆4.reg' for 64-bit), click the right mouse button on the file's name and choose the context menu item 'Merge'. You can unlock it with a simple registry tweak. Is it possible to unlock the new voices?īy default, the Microsoft mobile voice is locked for using in text-to-speech software via SAPI 5.

Windows 10 has the new voices Microsoft Mark Mobile and Microsoft Zira Mobile, but they are not available in text-to-speech software. You can view all the voices available on the computer by following Control Panel -> Speech -> Speech Properties -> Text To Speech -> Voice selection. How do I know what Text-To-Speech voices have been installed on the computer? Windows XP (and later versions) comes with SAPI 5. Also, you may download and install the Microsoft Speech Control Panel the Speech Control Panel will add an icon to your Control Panel to enable you to list the compatible text-to-speech engines installed on your system and customize their settings for your use. To use SAPI 4 voices, download and install the redistributable Microsoft Speech API 4.0 file. Text-To-Speech software synthesizes text strings and files into spoken audio using synthetic voices. The SAPI provides a high-level interface between an application and speech engines. The Speech API (SAPI) is an application programming interface developed by Microsoft to allow the use of speech synthesis within Windows applications. If you are interested, please send an email to is SAPI? Or you might translate sample.txt from the languages subfolder. If you want to help Balabolka, you might draw bitmap images with sizes 32 x 32 or 48 x 48 for buttons (use the images from the resources subfolder).
