Windows Store App Speech Synthesis

Question

Hey guys, this is my first post on the forum, but I have a question that is really important to a project I'm working on.

I just started transitioning a Smart A.I. Assistant from a regular Windows Form app to a Windows Store app. Everything is going smooth so far except the fact that I can't figure out a way to get a custom voice for the synthesizer in. I was told that you can only use certain voices for Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis

My question is: Is there a way that I can use a custom voice with my windows store app? A work around.... or anything? It would be ideal if I could use the same voice that I used in my windows form version of the application.

According to your description, it seems the issue is related to Windows Store, I will move this thread to Windows Store Discussions forums to get a better support.

Hi malakai606,

Yes, exactly you can use Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis namespace as the voice output.

You can set the Voice | voice property by switching the voice from different countries, you can always create an audio stream and output speech based on a Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) text string.
