Description
Microsoft Azure Neural Text-To-Speech Voices utilize advanced neural network models to produce highly natural and expressive speech from electronic text. All these voices work offline - they don't require internet connection and they don't belong to Microsoft's cloud-based service. The voices themselves will occupy, in avarage, 50Mb of disk space.

Take note, Chinese voices Xiaoxiao, YunJhe and Yunxi, for some reason, do not work well in Balabolka and other 32-bit applications - the speech suddenly ends without any error message. Because of it, I suggest to use these voices in the 64-bit program: "C:\Program Files\MSAzureTTS\sapidll\x64\TtsApplication.exe". Select "24kHz 16 Bit Stereo" in combobox "Format" for better audio output. Alternatively, you could also use Demagog 64-bit or ReadX Addon in a 64-bit Firefox Browser.

Installation on Windows
Each voice is packed into archive with ZIP extension. After unpacking archive you'll find several files and folders inside. To install voice on Windows PC just run Setup.exe. After installation is complete, Windows Installer will remove files in unpacked folder because it treats them as temporary. Unpacked folder will not have any further use and can be deleted.

Installation on Android
To install voice on Android Phone, open MultiTTS app, tap three dots in upper-right corner and select "Import Data" - choose ZIP archive. Wait until message appears "Data import successful". Tap three dots in upper-right corner again and select "Reload Data" - the installed voice will show up in the list. Tap installed voice to set it as narrator - you'll see the dark-green vertical line from the left of voice's name. Open "Text-to-speech output" in phone settings and choose MultiTTS as preferred engine.

Uninstallation on Windows
To uninstall particular voice, go to Start Menu, All Programs, MSAzureTTS, Name of Voice, Uninstall.

Uninstallation on Android
To uninstall particular voice, open MultiTTS app, tap then hold the voice and make swipe gesture from left to right, tap "Confirm delete".
