Text-to-speech in simulations: change voice in SEN

[Laura_Adk]

Hi all! 

We are working on a project where we use text-to-speech in our simulations. 

We are from the flemish part of Belgium and we would love to have a voice with that accent. We only managed to use/add a voice with a Dutch accent (Frank - Dutch - male voice) to our recordings. 

Does anyone if it is possible to add other voices/accents and which steps to take? 

Thanks in regard

Hi Laura,

Enable Now supports three types of Text to Speech languages - the standard Microsoft Windows languages, Google Text to Speech, and Microsoft Azure Text to Speech.  If any of these systems support Flemish then you will be able to generate audio using the corresponding voice.

I know that there is a Windows Language Pack for Flemish but I'm not sure if it supports TTS.  Google and Azure also appear to support Dutch - Belgium voices so one of those might provide a good result.

There is an information session running on European time on 19th March on the topic of audio, including the use of Text to Speech, in Enable Now.  You can access the registration page for the session using this link.
