For example, I would like to use this voice:
Microsoft Henri (Natural) - French (France)
because I am French and this voice is more natural.

I looked in the Windows registry and, unless I forgot something, I didn't find where the other voices were configured!

If anyone has an idea to use this voice in Jens-Arne's program, that would be great.

Thank you.
Hello,
As I've already explained to you, these are Microsoft Embedded Azure SDK voices. Using them from PB is certainly not impossible, we ripped the API key out of Narrator and managed to get them to talk in NVDA using Python, but it'll be a bumpy road ahead and the SDK is quite expensive if you want to get your own API key :(

Hello Quin,
I apologize, I was in my code and I hadn't seen your answer.

Thanks for explaining to me (I used Google translate).

Too bad, I will use the voices to which I have access or, I will record the texts myself, vocally, and I will have them read by my program: I tested this and it works well.

Good day

Hello Jens-Arne,
BRAVO for this prodigious work!

I have been looking for a long time how to use speech synthesis to implement it in programs that I write in PureBasic, and there is everything you need.

You really have incredible knowledge to provide us with these turnkey, operational and very well documented programs (there are all the functions in the text of the program editor).
Many thanks again
