New Piper TTS Voice for NVDA

[mikebayus]

Hi all.

I am enjoying using this add-on for the NVDA Screen reader.

I am running Windows 11 latest build, and I have just downloaded the latest voussion of the NVDA Screen Reader, V2023.3.

I have always like the voice of a Librivox reader called Amanda Friday.

Would it be possible to add her voice to the list of voices?

Here is a link where you can listen to her read.

I really really like her voice.

Thanks in advance.

We're glad that you like piper-for-NVDA.

Unfortunately, we don't have the hardware resources to train a voice.

If you have the skills, you can try fine tuning an existing voice based on this using Google Colab.

Please checkout this guide for more information:

Yeah we can fine-tune this voice, it can be great for read another audiobooks or make audio-movies as well. Sounds great. El mar, 31 oct 2023 a las 17:26, Musharraf ***@***.***>) escribió:
