Balabolka Voci (sintetizatoare vocale)

Balabolka can use the Microsoft Speech API 4.x/5.x voices and the Microsoft Speech Platform text-to-speech engines.

The application itself does not contain any voices. The developer of Balabolka is not connected with any of the speech engine manufacturers.

To use SAPI 4 voices, download and install the redistributable Microsoft Speech API file (spchapi.exe, 827 kB).

În Windows 11, browserul Microsoft Edge conține voci noi. Utilitarul NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter permite adăugarea de noi sintetizatoare vocale la lista de voci SAPI 5. Mai multe informații pot fi găsite aici. Deoarece Balabolka este o aplicație pe 32 de biți, trebuie să instalați versiunile pe 32 de biți și pe 64 de biți ale utilitarului (consultați "Installation Status" în fereastra utilitarului). Puteți descărca cea mai recentă versiune a utilitarului.

The NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter utility will add voices that require Internet access to work: this is identified by the presence of the word "Online" in the voice name (for example, "Microsoft Conrad Online"). There are also versions of some of these voices that can be installed directly on your computer: these voices will work without network access ("Microsoft Conrad Native", "Microsoft Polina Native").

It is necessary to install NaturalVoiceSAPIAdapter to use Microsoft Online and Microsoft Native voices.

The Microsoft Speech Platform allows developers to build and deploy Text-to-Speech applications. The Microsoft Speech Platform consists of a Runtime, and Runtime Languages (engines for speech recognition and text-to-speech). There are separate Runtime Languages for speech recognition and speech synthesis. The version of the Runtime Languages must match the version of the Speech Platform that you installed.

Use the following steps to install the Microsoft Speech Platform (version 11.0):

1. Download and install the Speech Platform Runtime
   (the file 'x86_SpeechPlatformRuntime\SpeechPlatformRuntime.msi').
2. Download and install Runtime Languages for use with the Speech Platform
   (files with names starting with 'MSSpeech_TTS_').

The Microsoft Speech Platform provides support for 26 languages for speech synthesis. XML tags can be used both for SAPI 5 and the Speech Platform.
