The error message I posted above is 100% accurate, because a regedit search shows no entries in any key in the entire registry for any ScanSoft voices. My problem is that I can't access the Calibre viewer's "Configure Read Aloud" dialog to repalce the missing voice with one I do have, because attempting to do so by clicking the gears icon brings up that error message. |
I don't see any reference to ScanSoft Tom in those screencaps.
You could try:
- Shutdown calibre completely
- Go to your calibre config directory
- Open file viewer-webengine.json in a good text editor (e.g. Notepad++). Go to the bottom and see what value you see for "tts_sapi".
For context, here's a snippet from the end of mine. This setting tells calibre to use the system defaults for Voice:
Code:
"user_stylesheet": "body {line-height: 1.3; font-family:serif; widows:1; orphans:1; text-rendering:optimizeLegibility;}"
},
"tts_sapi": {},
"viewer-search-case-sensitive": false,
"viewer-search-mode": "normal"
