Hey everyone. So, I recently got Windows 11 on my computer, and I heard that in the 22H2 update, there are new natural voices in Windows 11. But, I've looked on the internet, and everywhere I go, it says the voices are only tied to narrator. You can only use them in narrator. You can't use them anywhere else. So, I was wondering, is there actually a way to get these voices for Sappify? Because, some TTS video creators found a way to get these voices somehow on Sappify to use them in text-to-speech content. So, yeah, I was wondering if there was a way to get the new natural voices from Windows 11 on... ...Sappify, so that, one, I can use them with NVDA, and two, I can use them in text-to-speech skits. Anyway, yeah, that's all for this post. If you guys know how to get the voices for Sappify, reply to me in this thread. But, yeah, um, have a good day.

I think you can also get them through edge and if you can do that there might be some way to get them through something and get them working through that. I don't knwo anything though.

I've been hoping Microsoft would open them up for developers of other screen readers, but as far as I know they haven't done so yet.

Yeah, unfortunately I think we're out of luck there. I know, I hope either Microsoft or I don't know, the other screen readers would need to do something. I hope something happens soon though, to allow us to use these natural voices outside of Narrator, because I'd love to do that myself. I mean, they sound great, so I guess we'll just have to wait and see what happens there.

It will be nice for Windows at some point to add the Windows Microsoft Natural Voices to Windows 11 to use for other screen readers or use it for Zappy. That's one day. That would be great.

Unfortunately, this is highly unlikely that Microsoft will port these voices to other screen readers unfortunately, due to the reason that the voices are in the form of applications actually. And they are downloaded from the microsoft store. It is most likely impossible for these voices to come to screen readers. Sorry to break your hearts, but it's the sad truth.

Sorry I had to say this. But it seems impossible.

Well, that's a big shame to be honest, and that's okay. Sorry I have to hear that, but that's okay.

hey guys it's me Mackenzie back again and this is my second time recording this post because the first time I tried doing this I got interrupted but anyways um so it turns out well Microsoft thought that they were smart guess what they weren't because there actually is a an NVDA add-on now for these natural voices it comes with all of them for some reason I don't know why I wish you could just select at least only a few I have all of them including the ones that are for other languages which I did not want but I guess we have no choice but to accept that so you can get this add-on at data Jake Braille screen net I just discovered that you can get this add-on at data Jake Braille screen net I just discovered that you can get this add-on at data Jake Braille screen net I just discovered this so for those who really wanted to use them for like ever with NVDA well now you can I don't know about JAWS yet but I assume they could bring it to JAWS soon so yeah

Actually, you're right. I do thank you lol. I"m using this on my NVDA and it's more understandable at fast rates than eloquence for me and I'm not sure why.
