info("voices")
info("voices")

The info(“voices”) function returns a list of available speech synthesis voices on this system.

Description

This function returns a list of available speech synthesis voices on this system. An example is shown below. You’ll notice that some names are all lower case, while some have a mix of upper and lower case. This is important – when you use a voice (with the speak or speechvoice statements) you must use exactly correct spelling and capitalization, for example, Alex not alex, but alice not Alice.
