That's right, as I said: "They were not showing up in my Calibre list when I posted these screenshots two days ago, then they appeared" (e.a.) That's why it's weird, I have no idea where they came from.
EDIT: Here's the relevant entry from the json tts_sapi": { "rate": 2, "voice": "HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Speech\\ Voices\\Tokens\\ScanSoftTom_Dri20_22kHz" As expected, the problem is that Calibre viewer's Read Aloud is lookng for a key that isn't there, and never was. Can I just delete that entry from the json to force Calibre to ask me to choose one? Last edited by Uncle Robin; 12-14-2020 at 04:23 PM. |

I used to have AT&T Natural Voice installed on one of my computers. It did sound a lot more natural then the Windows TTS. And there was a lot more choice of voice.

Excellent, that worked perfectly, thanks! Now I can do the regedit hacks to add the other voices.

I've still got 3 AT&T Natural Voices installed on my Win10 PC. They show up and seem to work fine for Viewer Read Aloud in calibre portable 32bit.
