The VideoLAN Forums

Hi,
I'm looking for a way to change my voice when reading subtitles.
It works on my Macbook.
On Windows 10, I can't find the speaker settings for the titles from VLC.

The "Subtitles/OSD --> Speech synthesis for Windows" setting plays a female voice, with an English accent.
In Windows10, I have the male voice set to Czech.
If I'm not mistaken, there used to be a "separate tab" in Windows for speech settings, as there is now a "separate tab" for audio.
I can't find anything, it will be stupid, but it behaves the same way in Windows 11.
Doesn't it read VCL using Cortana, which is not available in English?

Thanks for the tip, directions.

So what I was looking for were SAPI panels

After pressing Win+R and pasting
"%windir%\System32\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl"
you start win 64-bit TTS voices
by pasting
"%windir%\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl"
start win 32-bit TTS voices

Some voices don't work, some don't exist, but can be copied using the registry (regedit)
These are located in
HKLM\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\SPEECH\Voices\Tokens\
a
HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\

Hi, from what I can see, there is an "index" to choose the voice (--sapi-voice) which probably matches with indices from https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/previ ... 1(v=vs.85) probably in the same order than the windows settings there : https://stackoverflow.com/questions/742 ... -installed

What voice do you have installed?
