Well, all this discussion prompted me to go around looking for additional TTS voices. I just installed ones from Canada--man--why do *they* get all the good ones? I mean wow--I'm not like a voice freak or anything like that but those voices from Canada are really really good. I know what I'll be using whenever I make spoken tutorials from henceforth & probly forevermore. I'm really impressed--I mean I sat up & took all kinds of notice. My question still remains--why does Canada get the good ones while we in the US get stuck w/the likes of Xera & David? That's just craziness!

Hi You can edit Narrator settings as follows: Pres Windows+I to open settings dialog Press tab once to enter list of Categories, then arrow down to “Ease of Access” and press enter In the next dialog, press tab once to enter the list of sub-categories and arrow down to “Narrator” and press enter Tab through the controls in this dialog box, you will find lots of Narrator settings including Voice, pitch and rate. Change as required, then press alt+F4 to exit the dialog.

Gene, That’s a good question, I wish I knew. The voice that comes on my machine is not even close to David or Mark though. Do you know how I can raise the speech rate on Narrator? I would like to see just how much more Narrator will sound if I raise the speech rate. I’m very sure the voice I am talking about and the Narrator voice are very similar.

The next question appears to be how do you find out which voice Narrator is using.

Hi, No it is not even close to Mark or David. Although, it does sound very very similar to Narrator. If that makes any sense, I’m not sure. Janet Janet ,

Could it be Microsoft Mark?

Brian,
Ok, I finally got my Laptop turned on, and I tried the voices especially David, and the voice I am talking about and the voice of David, are as different as day and night. I turned JAWS, NVDA off, and I turned on Narrator, and the voice I am talking about and Narrator sound very very similar. Could this be possible?

I just installed NVDA 2021.1 and I'll bet my bottom dollar that the voice now used by the installer is Microsoft David, which is a Microsoft OneCore Voice.
I use David as my voice with NVDA, but at a slightly faster rate, and if it's not Microsoft David it's so close that using MS David would probably suit anyone who likes that installer voice. -- Brian - Windows 10, 64-Bit, Version 21H1, Build 19043 I do not understand why some seek to separate a person from their actions.
