Weird, I ran the 64bit installer.

Open the exe with something like 7z, inside it, there are two MSI's, one 32 and one 64

Hello everybody!
The voice I'm using doesn't appear in my screen reader:
scansoft Raquel brazilian portuguese 22khz

I know it's called that because that's what's on my screen reader.

It doesn't appear in the list, and I don't know how to select it in the code either.
32 and 64 bit. It's nothing...
Any idea?

Thanks in advance!
When our generation/OS updates, we either update ourselves, or we are removed.
But we are never fully uninstalled.

It is a common sapi 5 voice. Recognized by programs like balabouca and the PureTts library (available only for PureBasic v4.00), among other programs and screen readers.

Only Portuguese from Brazil.
