UnityWindowsTTS

Text-To-Speech for Unity + Windows. We thank to Chad Weisshaar for allowing to share this source code. This source code was originally from here.

Environment

• OS: Windows 10
• Visual studio: Microsoft Visual Studio Community 2017
• Unity: Unity3D 2019.1.7f1
• Voices: Microsoft Speech API (SAPI) 5.3

Requirements

• MS language pack: https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/help/14236/language-packs
• MS TTS package: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/how-to-download-text-to-speech-languages-for-windows-10-d5a6b612-b3ae-423f-afa5-4f6caf1ec5d3

How to try

• Open the solution file: WindowsTTS.sln
• Make sure the active build configuration is x64.
• Build! and then WindowsTTS.dll will be appeared in UnityWindowsTTS\Assets\Plugins.
• Open the sample scene file in UnityWindowsTTS\Assets\Scenes folder.
• Check the WindowsTTS.dll is in the right place.
• Run the scene and press the button.
• If it doesn't make any sound:
  • Select the Narrator in the scene, press Add Component, and select 'Narrator'.
  • Select the Button under Canvas in the scene, drag and drop the Narrator to the object in On Click() at Button (Script), and change it from No function to Narrator.TestSpeech.
  • Then give it a try.

Tip

• You can change the voice by 'Voice Idx' of Narrator, but the index seems to be assigned dynamic somehow. We will update that later.
