I wonder if this is MS's way of trying to force people into using a paid subscription charging TTS by wordcount sent to the cloud? Do you know whether there are any currently perceivable benefits of using the winrt winspeech subsystem? |
I am not an audiophile to me there was no real difference in speech quality. There is access to more out of the box voices, for instance I now have access to Indian accented english voices which I didnt with SAPI. I have no idea what Microsoft's game plan is, which is why I left SAPI support in there.
The new API's save to wav function produces very crackly audio for me.
