NV Access are excited to announce that we will be at Sight City in Germany in May! We're keen to meet NVDA users & like-minded organisations in person in Europe. Unfortunately, we aren't attending CSUN this year. We will keep sharing what is new with NVDA & our roadmap with you.

@LuSchmoo @Your_Sins @KHRattlehead Well only Microsoft can answer that - but just looking back to when Windows 10 came out, we didn't have access to OneCore voices initially either. So this situation isn't without precedent.

@NVAccess @Your_Sins @KHRattlehead Hello, sorry to chip in on this, but do you think this will happen, Microsoft allowing other third-party developers to use their own developed voices/synthesises? I highly doubt it and they will still be exclusive to narrator going forward.

I hope in the future @NVAccess or someone in the community gets access to the new MS narrator voices. They sound so natural and clear.

@KHRattlehead @BGFH79 Yes I responded to the original query yesterday, but it is waiting on Microsoft to make the voices avaialble to third party developers such as us. Once that is available, I'm hopeful it won't be too complex to make them work in NVDA.

@BGFH79 @NVAccess Looks like it's mainly permission to access is what they're waiting for. Hopefully this is the case and we can get those voices included.

@Your_Sins @KHRattlehead We would like to bring them to you - at the moment, it's waiting on Microsoft to make them available to third party developers like us.
