Working on it

I am using the Japanese version of Windows 11 and Office365.

 

I had been able to select several voice choices for the read aloud function, including "Ichiro", but suddenly I could only select two choices, "Male Female".

 

I followed the help support instructions and reinstalled office365 and Windows 11, but this did not solve the problem.

I've also tried the above link, but it doesn't solve the problem.

Hi @homocrotocos 

I shared your query with the Read Aloud Development team. 

They said this is expected. You can now only choose from a male or female neural voice and they are significantly higher quality.

I mentioned you would like to see more choice when choosing voices.

They said they are working on adding more in the future.
