How do I get Amazon Polly Windows SAPI5 voices in VoiceAttack?

[samkatakouzinos]

It seems VoiceAttack is a 32bit only application?
It can't see the installed Amazon Polly for Windows SAPI 64bit only voices.

It sees the voices that 32bit "C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl" lists.
It can't see the voices that 64bit "C:\Windows\System32\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.cpl" lists.

How can I get current VoiceAttack to use today's modern 64bit voices?

VoiceAttack does run as a 32bit application, yes, so it doesn't have access to 64bit-only voices (most commercial SAPI voices come with both 32bit and 64bit versions, however Amazon explicitly doesn't provide a 32bit version).

Will there be a 64bit VoiceAttack in the near future?

I do have it on the books to provide a 64 bit version of VA.  I don't have an ETA on that, though.

Thanks, that response is actually good to hear.

This isn't a show stopper, but I'm very glad to hear this is the reason and there is a (future) fix. I spent an hour trying to figure out why none of my better voices (from Cereproc and AWS Polly) weren't working, because I thought I screwed something up in Windows.

Thanks for the awesome app and support!
