ADDING NEW VOICES - TEXT TO SPEECH VIA MICROSOFT ACCESS (1 Viewer)

[dalien.51]

I have happily now got to grips with coding this in VBA however - I only have 2 voices available to me and they are both female. Can I add more voices? a download from somewhere perhaps? The confusing part for me is there is a male voice in Microsoft Word and as Access is in the same family of products why can I not utilise this in Access?

Any help most appreciated.

If you have Windows 10 or later, you potentially have one or more voices for about 40 different languages available to you.
However, there are some actions you need to do to make all of these available. See my article

Translate & Speak

This app uses the online Google Translate service to translate text between any of the 109 supported languages. It also includes a text to speech feature based on the natural voices for almost 40 languages available free in Windows
