About this tag
TextAloud is a text-to-speech software that converts written text into spoken audio using various voices, such as the Lucy voice from Acapela. On WindowsForum.com, users discuss issues with TextAloud after Windows updates, including distorted or low-volume speech output, problems persisting across different voices and saved audio files, and troubleshooting steps like reinstalling the software or voice packs. These problems are often linked to system updates, such as upgrading to Windows 8.1 or Windows 10 build 9926, where normal system sounds remain unaffected but text-to-speech files become corrupted. Users also share creative projects using TextAloud, like animated videos combining the Lucy voice with 3D animation software.
