How to install and use ivona voices 2 free#
but other users have reported it works fine for them) it’s totally worth it - their voices are AWESOME naturally sounding (Ivona / CereProc don’t come close), and it’s really cheap - free for one year (5 million characters a month, plenty for P2A), and after that it’s $4 for each 5 million characters.
The setup is a bit involved (you have to set up an AWS account etc), but if it should work for you (unfortunately for me it’s a hit a miss with P2A. $ Amazon Polly: Check out their AWS Polly plugin for Windows (there’s also a thread in the P2A forum about it). Also note that their current voice versions (V6) are reported to have issues with P2A, but they’ll provide you with the V5 version if you ask, and they seem to work fine
I found though that their voices differ greatly in quality when used with P2A (pronunciation and intonation with ATC lingo), so you should try them out with specific phrases on their demo page. Underneath 'Speech language,' make sure it's set to the language you want text-to-speech to use. I did like the CereProc voices much better, and purchased a few of them recently (they just had a sale during Easter week, and occasionally have others). While still in the 'Time & Language' section of Settings, click 'Speech' in the left sidebar. $$$ Ivona or CereProc: Though lots of people recommend Ivona, I wasn’t impressed by the samples on their website. Some of those are actually quite good (e.g. Although by default P2A can only ‘see’ two of the Windows voices, you can actually get a lot more working by doing some registry tricks (there’s a post in the P2A forum explaining this).
