Description
"Microsoft Helle", a Danish text-to-speech voice, is installed on my Windows PC among others.
I have the English, Danish and Spanish language packs installed on my PC (including text-to-speak and speech recognition), but only few voice options shows up with the call "GetInstalledVoices()", namely:
Microsoft David Desktop
Microsoft Hazel Desktop
Microsoft Zira Desktop
Microsoft Helena Desktop
David, Hazel and Zira are English voices, while Helena is a Spanish voice.
However "Microsoft Helle" shows up in my settings, but not when calling GetInstalledVoices().
Could you please provide an overview of which voices are available?
Why can't I choose to use "Microsoft Helle" as my text to speech voice?
Best, Peter.
