Ivona is a big commercial speech synthesis company, and the Welsh Assembly (the devolved Welsh government within the UK) appears to have paid them to create these two voices for Welsh. Free male and female Welsh synthesizer voices from Ivona.They supported Hindi, English, Tamil, Kannada, and Telugu, though I can't vouch for them.

On Windows, you can install eSpeak then run "C:\Program Files (x86)\eSpeak\command_line\espeak.exe". I notice that you have to get the MBROLA voices separately from the eSpeak install. I'm going to assume that the eSpeak DLL calls the MBROLA engine to be in line with the licence. There is a wide range of these, and they are good, but the licence is not GPL: you have permission to redistribute for non-commercial free programs, and you must use the MBROLA program itself to generate the speech.

See Microsoft Speech on the Blog for more details. You simply install the "Language Pack" from Control Panel and the voice will appear.Ĭonfusingly, Windows 10 also has many voices that are Windows Runtime voices or Mobile voices, not the SAPI5 voices that will work in your software. Windows 8 added many speech synthesizers available for lots of languages. English and Chinese were usually freely available. Microsoft Windows has shipped with a speech synthesizer since Windows 2000 - Microsoft Sam until Microsoft Vista, other voices since then. But any of the other links below may be broken or no longer provide the voice described. eSpeak is the exception: it's been around for a decade at least. These either disappear from the web after a year or two or get brought up and commercialised by a new or existing speech synthesis company. Universities and public bodies regularly produce new speech synthesizers from research projects and attempts to support their language or accent. All will work with the Thunder and NVDA free screenreaders.
