Installation

Downloading the add-on

You can find the add-on package under the assets section of the release page.

Adding voices

The add-on is just a driver — it comes with no voices by default. You need to download and install the voices you want from the voice manager.

Upon installing the add-on and restarting NVDA, the add-on will ask you to download and install at least one voice, and it will give you the option to open the voice manager.

You can also open the voice manager from NVDA’s main menu.

We recommend choosing the low or medium quality voices for your target language(s), because they generally provide better responsiveness. For additional responsiveness, you can choose to download the fast variant of a voice at a cost of slightly lower speech quality.

You can also install voices from local archives. After obtaining the voice’s file, open the voice manager, in the installed tab, click the button labeled Install from local file. Choose the voice file and wait for the voice to install.
