Text-to-Speech Synthesized Voices
In Voice Symbol and Voice Ink software you have the option of using the embedded voices, recording into the software, importing .mp3 or .wav sound files, or using an electronic / synthesised TTS voice.
Voice Symbol or Voice Ink may pick up some installed TTS voices on your PC, but it is more likely that you will need to buy them separately. Here are some of the options. Please let us know if you are using different voices, so that we can advise others.
