NVDA and Microsoft OneCore Voices


Kelly <kelly@...>
 

Hi,

 

Are there any known issues with NVDA and the MS OneCore voices and speech rate.  I have the same version of NVDA installed on two different computers but the top rates I’m getting with the OneCore voices are drastically different.  On one machine, the rates are similar to what you’d get if you used MS Sapi 5, very slow even at 100%.  The voices themselves are the OneCore versions though.

 

The two machines are running the latest Windows Insider build.

Hi Kelly

Assuming you are talking about the voice rate in NVDA Settings being 100%,press Windows+i to open the Settings dialog for Windows, tab into the list of categories and press enter on “Ease of Access”.  Tab to the list of topics and arrow down to Speech and press enter.  Tab to “Additional Speech Settings and press enter.  You should find a speech rate for the OneCore voice, check it’s value between the 2 machines and adjust accordingly.

 

Cheers

Chris .

I was setting up a friend’s Windows 10 computer, and I could not find any one-core voices.

Only the two, a male and a female, and then another female voice at the bottom, but none indicated one-core as the name, they had people names.

Those weren’t the voices I saw listed as Microsoft voices.

I could not find a way to switch off of SAPI to what some are calling one core.

well the one core voices were called mobile.

Some voices need a language pack download.
