Adding Local languages to Text to speech

Report · Jan 26, 2021

After spending 2 hours with useless support I will post my question to the commity.

I have added a languages pack(Danish) to my windows languages setting and have now a Microsoft voice of Helle, who speak danish, so far so good

Now I want to create a text 2 speech using the voice of Microsoft Helle using Audition

But I can't see my local languages when I open Effects/Generate/Speech, simply because Language dropdown is not enabled.

Anybody who know the solution to enable Language Field.

I have attached images from my windows settings and Audition Text to speech form

Thanks

Can't really tell you anything, except that you have to install the voices before you can use them. You have to bear in mind that this is effectively a link to a Microsoft feature, and it's not one that I think works particularly well...

Hello

There is a fix for this, not only to include the danish language but many other languages that are not included in Audition text to speech before some edit in the registry database in completed.

Thanks

That's all very well, but would you like to tell us where the information about this is? Is there a link you can share?

Sure, more information https://www.ghacks.net/2018/08/11/unlock-all-windows-10-tts-voices-system-wide-to-get-more-of-them/

Just follow instructions and you have many more languages available for text to speech inside Audition.

But I am really surprised that spending 6 hours with the official Adobe Audition support team that they have no idea about this, what they suggested was everything from reinstall windows, create a new windows admin account, change CC language, Contact Microsoft, contact Adobe developers, and more.

Sorry, but it can't be the first time this issue has been asked, it is many languages except standard english/US voices that this involves.
