Changing TTS Voice?

Isolationist · 09-15-2009, 10:22 AM

Hey, I have been searching for quite a while now on how to customize or change the TTS voice that vent uses. I know some time ago I had a female voice when I downloaded ventrilo as the default. However, at some point, when I downloaded it there was the old male voice again and since it has been that way.

I was wondering if this is just something that vent has and that one version was a test? Or if perhaps there is a way to customize this? I saw some random topics via google but nothing seemed all that legitimate. I'm not picky but either going back to the female voice or something would be ideal. The default male voice is a bit too robotic/grainy for me...
