ZiraPro sounds so much more natural than Robotic Anna but it doesn't work when I click the Speech button in Microsoft Word. When I choose Hazel, it reads as Anna. When I choose ZiraPro, it's completely silent. Both voices read the preview text in Control Panel's 'Text to Speech' options properly. – ADTC Aug 14 '15 at 3:17. Enter text and play it back as speech with different voices and settings. Enter text to be turned into speech. Speak Pause Cancel.

I am currently trying to develop a speech synthesis UWP DLL using the namespace Windows::Media::SpeechSynthesis. I read this documentation and the Microsoft page dedicated to the namespace. I tried to implement the namespace in code.

Header file

Cpp file

I can load the DLL file and the function I exported. However, when I try to call the function, I get following error

I tried the example on the Microsoft page but it some how doesn't work and I can't figure out why. I also tested the Windows Universal Samples available on Github which is an UWP app regrouping Text-To-Speech and Speech Recognition.

Has someone experienced a similar issue? Shouldn't I use an XAML element when I don't have an interface?

Edit 1

I modified the header file regarding the exportation of the function as suggested by @Peter Torr - MSFT

However, when I compile, I'm getting a new error on this line

I researched this error and if I understood it correctly it comes from the importation of the DLL function.

In addition, I call the function like this

In MainPage,I initialize the dll file and invoke 'ttsInitialize' function like below code.

And In Dll.h file,I initialize MediaElement like below code,and other code as same as you.

When I run the project,it works.You can try it and if you still have issues,please show the details that you initialize your dll file.

I found an answer to my question. Instead of using MediaElement, I used MediaPlayer. Now it works, but I still need to figure out how to make the engine speak without limiting it in time. The Sleep( 3000 ) means that the voice will speak for 3 seconds. However, if the sentence is longer than 3 seconds, it will be cut.Here is the code of the program.

So I'am trying to add a new language, spesifically norwegian, to SpeechSynthesizer, but it doesn't seem to get installed.

Found this:Add another voice into .NET Speech(But here the problem is that Czech isn't supported)

I have installed the norwegian pack from here:http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=27224

In my code I use this to check if it is installed:

But it only outputs:Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States)

Have checked the text-to-Speech tool were this is also the only option.Have also tried to log off/log on and restart the computer.

Anyone know how to fix this?

You may need to add a Speech Language to Windows 10 and set your Locale, Country, Windows display language and Speech language so they are all aligned with one of Cortana's supported locale configurations.

To confirm the settings are set correctly:

1. Open Settings. Select Time& language, and then Region & Language.

2. Check the Language (set as default) setting for your Windows display language. If your desired language is not available, add your desired language:

   • Click Add Language.
   • Select your desired language from the list.
   • Select the desired locale, which is the language/country combination.
   • Click on the newly selected locale and select Options.
   • Under Download language pack, click Download.
   • Under Speech, click Download.
   • After the downloads are complete (this could take several minutes), return to the Time & Language settings.
   • Click on your new language and select Set as Default.
   • NOTE: IF you changed languages, you must sign out of your account and back in for the new setting to take effect.

3. Check the Country or region setting. Make sure the country selected corresponds with the Windows display language set in the Language setting.

4. Return to Settings and Time & language, and then select Speech. Check the Speech language setting, and make sure it’s aligned with the previous settings.

After you have correctly done the above, your language should appear in the SpeechSynthesizer.AllVoices collection. You should then be able to assign this voice to your SpeechSynthesizer instance's Voice property:
