Ahh thank you.  I should have thought to look at the user guide, my apologies.

For other options, you would need to download the speech packages from Microsoft Web site.

This is taken directly from the user guide:

13.5. Windows OneCore Voices

Windows 10 includes new voices known as "OneCore" or "mobile" voices. Voices are provided for many languages, and they are more responsive than the Microsoft voices available using Microsoft Speech API version 5.

Please see this Microsoft article for a list of available voices and instructions to install them: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/22797/windows-10-narrator-tts-voices

Please note that the faster rates available with Narrator are not currently available with NVDA. Also, the speed you select in the Windows Settings affects the rate set in NVDA. These are issues we cannot resolve without changes to Windows. We are hopeful that these will be addressed in a future Windows update.

I wish I had that many voice options lol.  For the OneCore voices I only have david, cira and mark.  I am liking david but other choices would be nice.

Ok looking at mine:

 

If I set the Synthesizer to Microsoft Speech API Version 5.  In the Voice Settings I can choose:

- Microsoft David Desktop

- Microsoft Hazel Desktop

- Microsoft Zira Desktop

 

If I set the synthesizer to Windows OneCore Voices, I can go to Voice Settings and choose between:

- Microsoft David

- Microsoft George

- Microsoft Hazel

- Microsoft Susan

- Microsoft Catherine

- Microsoft Zira

- Microsoft Mark

- Microsoft James

 

The OneCore voices weren't available in 2017.2.  They have been in Next and Master builds for a little while.  I don't think Microsoft have changed the voices available in Windows 10 lately, but I'm running a fast insider build and I have English US, English Australian and possibly English UK languages installed with the appropriate speech packs.


Regards


Quentin.

If you are on Windows 10, to get the new OneCore voices, open the synthesizer dialog - NVDA+control+s (or from NVDA's preferences menu) and select "Microsoft OneCore voices" rather than "Microsoft Speech API version 5".

        I down loaded nvda 2017.3 and I noticed that the only new voice is Mark and when I set my speed to 80 thats the speed that I use it was not as fast as normally is. I did read the what's new and I did not hear really anything very earth shaking to me. So far I have not incounteredany problems.
