How to Install Microsoft Text To Speech Voice

Part 1: Install voice
1. On the station, click on the Windows icon and type “Language settings”. Once the
“Language settings” app appears press ENTER to open.

2. Under the “Preferred languages” heading click on the grey plus sign that says “Add a
language”

3. Search for desired text to speech-language (ex: Russian). Make sure to choose the voice with the “Text-to-speech” option, see icon below. Select the voice and click Next.

4. Check all the boxes for the features you want. If you want the new language to be the default language for the machine, then check the box that says “Install language pack and set as my Windows display language”- Then click on INSTALL.

 

Note: If you selected “Install language pack and set as my windows display” then after the install, Windows will prompt you to restart the machine. Once the machine has been restarted,
the display will be in the new language. If you are not prompted, you can restart the machine manually. The restart is only necessary if you are changing the windows display language.
