Description
Vocalizer Expressive is a text-to-speech engine used by Reading applications to produce speech from electronic text. The voices sound very close to the natural human speech. Some of them, like Spanish Jorge, were first developed by Loquendo and then improved by Nuance.
Incompatibility
The Voices from this release may not function properly if installed on the same computer with the following products: Vocalizer Expressive 5.2.3 (Previous release), kobaspeech.com, harposoftware.com. It's recommended to remove these products before installing Vocalizer Expressive 5.4.
Installation
To install the voices, extract the archive(s) to any folder and run Setup.exe
After installation is complete, Windows Installer will delete files in unpacked folder because it assumes them been temporary. So, unpacked folder will not have any further use and it must be deleted.

Edit Pronunciation
The pronunciation of the Voices can be modified by creating 'User dictionary'. It's binary (unreadable for human) file with name userdct_3LetterLanguageCode.dat. In case of Finnish voices it would be userdct_fif.dat. But first, you must create usual text file with similar content:
This file must be encoded in UTF-8 without BOM. Here, the Name is the name of text file; Description can be any description; Language is uppercase of

Nuance Vocalizer Expressive 5.4 Pro

3LetterLanguageCode; tuhatvuotta is the source string with 40 characters maximum length; space plus // plus space is separator; #te.x:At.vu.ottA# is a destination string – it's how the word should be pronounced. Note, the # sign here is the pause (silence). Destination string can only contain phonetic symbols in so called L&H+ (Lernout & Hauspie) notation.
All necessary symbols you can find in four tables of this PDF document. These tables contain all Finnish symbols of L&H+. First is called 'Special characters' on page 13, another is 'Punctuation Marks' on page 14, third is 'The Finnish L&H+ and UNIPA Phonetic Alphabets' on pages 15-16 and the fourth is 'SAPI5 Symbols' on pages 18-19. From tables 3 and 4 you'll need only first column.
You can add as many words as you like, but they must be separated by newline (CR+LF). After creating text file, you can save it as userdct_fif.dct.
Now, download python-2.5.4 and VoCon 3200. Install them to some path without spaces such as C:Python25 and C:PFNuancevocon3200EDS3. Create *.bat file with content:
Here, C:userdct_fif.dct is a path to text file, created earlier and C:userdct_fif.dat is path for output binary file. Run bat file. Copy generated userdct_fif.dat to the components folder of the Voice. For example, to the C:Program FilesVElanguagesfifspeechcomponents.
Now, if you open Balabolka and select voice Onni or Satu, it will speak the words tuhatvuotta and ikuisuus not as expected.
I attached the test file userdct_fif.dat with two pronunciation rules from above.

Vocalizer Expressive Studio Torrent

The file userdct_fif.dat is a language specific dictionary – it can be used by either voice of the same language. If you want it to be used only by particular voice, such as Satu, you must rename it (or create new) to userdct_fif_satu.dat.
For the particular voice you can also add another dictionaries – these must be referenced in *.HDR file of the Voice. The *.HDR files are placed inside the 've' folder. Fore example, C:Program FilesVElanguagesfifspeechveve_pipeline_fif_satu_22_premium-high_1-0-1.hdr. If you've created new dictionary named userdct_fif_satu1.dat, then you must add the following code to the end of *.HDR file:

Here, the slash corresponds to the underscore in the filename. So, the end of *.HDR should look like this:
All user dictionaries must be inside components folder of the Voice/Language.
Vocalizer Expressive 5.2.3 (Previous Release)
Here are 87 voices from previous version of Vocalizer - Vocalizer 5.2.3. All these voices, including Sin-Ji, Mei-Jia and Tian-Tian have the Premium High quality and can be installed on Windows XP. However, they are not compatible with Vocalizer 5.4. Therefore, only voices from either release can be installed on same PC, but not from both.

Claude v1.0
Supported OS: Windows Xp/Vista/7/8/8.1/10 64bit
Other requirements: None
Installation: run ClaudeInstaller.exe as Administrator
Description: Claude is another Text-To-Speech program with built-in support of MSAgent and SSML 1.0. The interface is intuitive and simple. It doesn't have many settings in comparison with TextAloud or Balabolka because it wasn't intended to be a replacement for existing TTS programs. Its purpose is a preservation of MS Agent technology which is only present in older OS'es preceding Windows 7. Even some creators of characters - design studios 'La Cantoche', 'E-Clips' and 'UK Software' don't exist anymore.Fortunately, Claude automatically fixes the absence of MSAgent in Windows 7/8/8.1/10 and puts 40 Characters to their default location.
This program can open, edit and speak the following formats: HTML, RTF, DOC, DOCX, TXT, XML. It can operate in two modes - with MSAgent enabled or disabled.
To switch into second mode uncheck 'Use MSAgent'.Nuance
To install your own MSAgent Characters copy *.acs files to folder 'C:WindowsMSAgentchars'.
Additional notes: HTML files, containing Unicode, must have tag <meta http-equiv='content-type'> inside their <head> tag in order to correctly render in Claude.
