Want a much better voice? (for a grown-up, about 5 minutes)
On a Mac:
- Open System Settings.
- Click Accessibility, then Spoken Content.
- Next to System Voice, click the ⓘ button (or Manage Voices).
- Open English and download a Premium voice, like Ava (Premium), Zoe (Premium) or Evan (Enhanced).
- Come back here, click Find new voices, and pick it. If it doesn't show up, quit and reopen the browser.
On Windows: open Settings → Time & language → Speech, click Add voices and add a natural English voice. Then click Find new voices here.
Using Chrome? Google US English also sounds natural and needs no download. On iPhone and iPad, better voices are in Settings → Accessibility → Spoken Content → Voices.
