TOOL/SPEECH CONVERTER - Does not "See" all installed voices

Post by Vinyl »

Hi all. I use this tool all the time, but since boot-up today, only ONE voice is available - normally I get a dropdown list of all the voices. I have checked for a new version, but I am currently up to date.

...but here are the installed voices:

Can anyone help?

Windoze 10 Pro, 64-bit. Was working just fine, but now Goldwave only sees the Zira voice. :(

Fixed this by re-installing all the language packs. They were already installed, so I don't know what Windoze was doing, but once I reinstalled all the English voice packs, I have all my voices back again. Perhaps it was something that the latest Windoze 10 update screwed up - it would not surprise me. W10 updates seem to screw up more then they intend to fix most of the time. :(

Anyway, I have found a fix for it, and i've answered my own thread here. Moderators might like to delete the thread.

W10 keeps uninstalling the speech packs - without asking me, it just does it and they are not available the next time I try to use the tool. I can still fix the problem by re-installing the wanted speech packs again, but I have done that about 10 times now, and that lets me record the new voice prompts I need with GW, but next time I open GW, they are not available again. They are not available, cos they are not there in speech settings anymore either.

This is W10 problem(surprise surprise), and I have posted on the Windows forum, but currently there has not been any replies about the problem, so I guess MS don't even know why their OS is doing this.....
