how I can change the voice synthesizer gender and age in C#?
I would like to change the gender and age of the voice of System.Speech
in c#. For example, a girl of 10 years but can not find any simple example to help me adjust the parameters.
First, check which voices you have installed by enumerating the GetInstalledVoices
method of the SpeechSynthesizer
class, and then use SelectVoiceByHints
to select one of them:
using (SpeechSynthesizer synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer())
{
// show installed voices
foreach (var v in synthesizer.GetInstalledVoices().Select(v => v.VoiceInfo))
{
Console.WriteLine("Name:{0}, Gender:{1}, Age:{2}",
v.Description, v.Gender, v.Age);
}
// select male senior (if it exists)
synthesizer.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Male, VoiceAge.Senior);
// select audio device
synthesizer.SetOutputToDefaultAudioDevice();
// build and speak a prompt
PromptBuilder builder = new PromptBuilder();
builder.AppendText("Found this on Stack Overflow.");
synthesizer.Speak(builder);
}
