I would like to change between two different voices (Microsoft David / Microsoft Stefan) with just one button press / key combination. Is there an easy way to do this?
Background: I'm an |American living in Switzerland. On web pages, emails, etc I'm constantlyh bouncing back and froth from English to German.
It would be so nice to be able to switch between them quickly. Is it possible with dual configurations? or input gestures? I've been studying the manuals, but I'm not making any progress. Can anyone please give me som advice and point me in the right direction?
Or does this require an add-on? My programming experience started with FORTRAN and didn't get beyond Quick BASIC, so Python is a mystery. And obviously, being severely vision impaired makes things even more challenging.
Thanks,
Paul in Zurich

I 2nd the recommendation of SwitchSynth since it gives you more than 2 languages in case you start running across French or Italian, for example. :)
Admittedly, I'm not familiar with the first suggestion, though.
SwitchSynth has been serving me quite well as an American working in Germany on pan-European projects. You never really know what language you might need.
Cheers, Sally
This addon will do what you want:

i installed switch synth add on just now. It works well with shortcut key ctrl+shift+insert+1 to 6 keys. You can dual voice also in the following link and decide which suits best for you. https://nvda-addons.org/addon.php?id=33

Hi,
What version of this add-on works with the latest NVDA 2022.2 works?
The version, dual_voice-5.0.nvda-addon given in the below link is not compatible with this version of NVDA.
Any link for an updated version would be helpful.
Thanks,
Ravi.

hello,
I have installed the addon SwitchSynth. after installing this addon, i
tried using the shortcuts NVDA+shift+ctrl+1 while on one synthesiser
and switched to other synthesiser to which i would like to consider as
secondary synthesizer and pressed NVDA+shift+ctrl+2. but it only keeps
announcing 1 and 2. i tried saving this setting with
NVDA+shift+ctrl+v. but nothing seems to work. so any solution?
thanks,
Mukesh

this is some terrific add-on! rather than go through the hassle of switching synthesizers for either fun or practicality, this add-on after adjusting is really elegant.

hello,
now its working. so thanks for your help. but supposing if I have kept
microsoft mobile synthesizer to read english text and set to 1 and
vocaliser for hindi voice and set to 2, so while reading the text
which is mixture of english and hindi languages, will these
synthesizers switch automatically as per the languages? also if i want
to delete the slots set, how can i do so?
thanks again,
Mukesh
