Here, you can specify which voice is to be used for the voice output. The respective voice packs must first be installed on Windows. To do this, open your Windows settings, go to Time and language → Speech → Manage voices and add your desired languages here.
The system language is used by default. To display all available languages for this device, add the line debug=true to your Infoclient.ini and restart the Infoclient services “InfoclientWinlogonDesktop” and “InfoclientUserDesktop”. After the restart, you will find a list of available languages in the InfoclientDebug.log under “Voice(number of language)”. You can either enter names such as Hedda or Zira or the languages themselves such as english or chinese. If you have installed several types of the same language, you can also enter e.g. Chinese (Taiwan) or the entire value such as Microsoft Hortense Desktop - French.
To save you searching in the InfoclientDebug.log, you will find a list of all functional languages here as soon as they have been installed in advance. (as of January 2025)
•Microsoft Hedda Desktop - German •Microsoft Hazel Desktop - English (Great Britain) •Microsoft David Desktop - English (United States) •Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States) •Microsoft Helena Desktop - Spanish (Spain) •Microsoft Sabina Desktop - Spanish (Mexico) •Microsoft Hortense Desktop - French •Microsoft Elsa Desktop - Italian (Italy) •Microsoft Haruka Desktop - Japanese •Microsoft Heami Desktop - Korean •Microsoft Paulina Desktop - Polish •Microsoft Maria Desktop - Portuguese(Brazil) •Microsoft Irina Desktop - Russian •Microsoft Huihui Desktop - Chinese (Simplified) •Microsoft Tracy Desktop - Chinese(Traditional, HongKong SAR) •Microsoft Hanhan Desktop - Chinese (Taiwan) |
voicepurgebefore=True / False Default=True |
This value determines how the voice output behaves during active output when a new Info is displayed. With True, a currently output info is aborted in order to read out the new info directly. If False, the old output is completed first and then the new info is started. If "Cancel ongoing voice output (prioritized output)” is active, the current output is always aborted regardless of this setting. |
