Issue with Text-To-Speech

PoorLeno

Since last update, TTS is silent.... When I look at Text to Speech Engine and click Text to Speech, it doesn't open the TextToSpeech control panel applet  anymore but the SpeechToText. My OS is Windows 11. And I can't access the Text to Speech control panel anymore.
Any idea? How Can I investigate this issue?

Are you running an insider build or something?  Windows 11 24H2 still works normally.

PoorLeno

Thank you, I would love to have this panel again. But it seems that the last Windows update removes it. I can't access to it anymore. In the panel you show above, there is only now the Speech recognition tab.

Classic Windows SAPI seems to be removed (windows speech API)

Again...  are you using an insider build?  This is NOT the case with release versions of Windows 11 24H2.  Where are your speculations coming from?

PoorLeno

Thank you for your message. It is definitly a Windows issue, so I will investigate my build.

If you used something weird like tiny11, that could be the cause.  

People talk about deprecations in Windows for years before they happen and I've never heard of this.

I don't use tiny11. But sadly, this function may be removed for. I had to reinstall a Microsotf Speeh SDK 5.1.
It fixed my issue.
Thank you so much for this discussion.

I randomly also encounted this. I cant seem to be able to bring up the old text to speech window (It's gone somehow?). And as Leno said clicking on the link inside ACT opens speech recognition instead of the old text to speech window that did before.

You said this fixes your problem. I installed the SDK, but it's still not really working. Did you do something else aside installing the SDK?
