Additional speech enginesYou can install additional voices in order to use them in 1st Read It Aloud! 1st Read It Aloud supports all SAPI4-compliant (Speech Application Programming Interface) voices in many languages and all SAPI5-voices.
How to install new voice Simply download and run installation executable of desired voice. Then restart 1st Read It Aloud. Installed voice will appear in the voices list. Enjoy! Attention! It is a known problem that free L&H voices for languages other than English don't install correctly on Windows Vista and Windows Seven. To install them you should first turn UAC (User Account Control) feature of Windows off, then reboot and then install one of those voices. Please disable UAC if you want to use one of those free voices!
