In addition, this beta appears to have been made in 2016. Somebody tweeted about it a long time ago and I think it just got out.

Based on how you describe it, this is probably a tech support scam. Just close the tab.

Yep, that's what I've been doing for about a year now, especially since I like to play with synthesizers that can be unstable, not saving configuration on exit means I don't have to worry about a bad

Not quite. The last version to work with XP is 2017.3. https://www.nvaccess.org/files/nvda/releases/2017.3/nvda_2017.3.exe

Personally I've used it on occasions, though I've changed the pitch to an A note rather than the default, as the default pitch sounds rather painful to me.

Sorry. It seemed like Najaf had been posting the question several times as replies to different threads, perhaps I was getting the idea wrong.

But just for clarification, does that mean my change to the subject line did not actually create a new thread? I'm using Thunderbird, so if that did happen I'd like to know how I can start a new threa

You can download more voices by downloading new language packs from Settings>Time and Language>Language, this is no longer necessary in Windows 10 version 1903 as you'll be able to download the voices

I think ESpeak has support for the language, not sure if it's any good, though.

If you don't have the voice installed already, on Windows 10 version 1809 and earlier, you'll need to download the English United Kingdom language pack which includes the voice. You can do this by goi
