Voice Selection
Supports Windows Text To Speech, Google Cloud or Amazon Polly voices
By default, EDCoPilot will use your pre-installed Windows Text To Speech voices, which you can set in the Voice Settings panel. You can also add Windows TTS compatible voices from 3rd parties such as Cereproc.
​
In addition, EDCoPilot supports voices rendered by Google Cloud or Amazon Polly, which produce a more natural sounding voice. Note: Each has a free usage quota every month, before overage fees become billable.
​
You can switch between voices using the Voice Settings panel, or via VoiceAttack voice commands.
