Hi All, Is it possible to change the TTS for Narrator in Windows 8.1? I don't mean the voice. I mean the actual TTS to something other than Windows SAPI voices. I bought a new Windows 8.1 desktop, which will arrive in about a week. Though I mostly use my Windows 7 netbook for work, I've been learning Narrator on a Windows 8.1 laptop. As I've said on this list, the new Narrator is very screen reader like; however, there are a few things about it that make me think I don't want to use it for work. One of the biggies is general sluggishness. I had a revelation about that recently. I was using NVDA and a different TTS on that computer. Then I decided to try the Windows SAPI voices with NVDA. When I did, I noticed the same sluggishness, and it occurred to me that Narrator wasn't to blame for that particular issue. Any suggestions about how I can use a different TTS with Narrator?
