Can only use one voice per gender #14

Closed Jay54520 closed 2 years ago

Jay54520 commented 2 years ago

Version: 5.0.0 Many languages can only use one voice per gender, for example, Chinese femal can only use zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural but can't use zh-CN-XiaoxuanNeural. Chinese male can only use zh-CN-YunyangNeural.

# Success
edge-playback --text "Hello, world!" --voice zh-CN-XiaoxiaoNeural
# Fail
$ edge-playback --text "Hello, world!" --voice zh-CN-XiaoxuanNeural

@Jay54520 I don't understand what you're trying to do

Edit: I think a code example or step by step instructions on what you're trying to do but failing at would help

I update above post by using commnad line instead of Python code so you can run it directly.

@Jay54520 you got the voices wrong, there is no zh-CN-XiaoxuanNeural. Use edge-tts --list-voices to get a list of voices:

Voices in your list can success. But there was zh-CN-XiaoxuanNeural and other voices before and you can see it in Official demo or use aspeak -t "Hello, world" -v zh-CN-XiaoxuanNeural in https://github.com/kxxt/aspeak

@Jay54520 This is for the voices available in Microsoft Edge. Previously this library was able to access everything in Azure Cognitive Services but now Microsoft cracked down and it's limited to only the functions available in Edge.

Got it. I thought this project only lacks Custom SSML before, now I know it can only achive funcitons in Edge.

@Jay54520 It used to have these functions, I had to remove them because Microsoft cracked down and blocked it
