Download More Voices For Balabolka Voice
Download Balabolka. Balabolka is a Text-To-Speech (TTS) program. All computer voices installed on your system are available to Balabolka.
Www.neospeech.com has good quality voices at reasonable prices and a user friendly website. Caution with neospeech. You must have admin access to your computer because they send you a license key which has to be copy/pasted into a specific file. This is not a novice job to add languages. They've made it exceptionally more difficult than it needs to be.
Www.cepstral.com also offers voices for sale. They encourage you to download and try them first before buying them. Unfortunately, the one I tried wouldn't work in CrazyTalk7. AT&T Natural Voices are also available, but the website refers you to Wizard Software. Good luck trying to navigate that site.
In my opinion, they are not user friendly to the one-off developer who needs a TTS voice for use in online learning. I found a couple of others that offer voices but their websites are so user unfriendly I passed on trying to use them. This is not an easy question to get answered.
There are other posts in this site (see related threads) that ask the same question but no one knows (or is willing to say) who to use other than 'third party' suppliers. Windows XP had Microsoft SAM, he was replaced with Anna and the Eastern version of Windows had Lily and all three of those are by Microsoft.
I don't see why they can't let their customers choose which we prefer. If you google 'Balabolka' you should find the website of a text to speech application that is easy to use and they have a free download. ScreemingBee provide one called ScriptVox that has a free trial period. However while these applications work well, I could not see how to use the voices they provide with the Microsoft Text to speech API or to set them as the default system voice, but it may be possible if (unlike me) you know what you are doing;) PEr aRDUa ad asTrA (through adversity to the stars).

I will tell you the 3rd party program.I. use. It's called Natural Reader software. It is a lil expensive but well worth it when I need to 'read' something very long my eyesight is VERY poor but with this program it helps a lot! Check out the site and d/l the free version to see if you like it, then choose your 'package' it all depends on how many voices come with it and you can contact them with a request for specific voices/languages you get 2 voices at the minimum and 6 voices maximum but can also purchase voices separately to had 'variety'. Best of Luck to you!
