Hi everyone, so I just had a question/thought that I thought I would put up here to see if I could get a discussion started but how cool would everyone think that it would be to have the Microsoft speech platform come out as an add-on to the voices available with voiceover The reason I say this is recently with Windows 11 there’s been a lot of new natural sounding voices that have come out that sound a lot more natural than some of the voices that iOS has currently in my opinion so I think it would be really cool if Microsoft could allow that to happen and with E speak Coming to iPhone I think this could be possible but what does everyone else think about this? Hope to hear from everyone soon.

Unlikely
Microsoft has never ported their voices to any other platform aside from Windows. I don't expect this to change.
not likely to happen
Its not likely to happen for one, and for another, there are way better sounding voices than microsoft voices imho.
neo speech
I would like to see neo speech like VW kate, Paul and Julie will come to IOS as well.
Voices...
When will the I want this voice, to come to IOS End? I mean seriously, everyone has their own thoughts but all I ever see with any major release is I want this one, I want that one. Is it ever enough? for me, I use what i use.
Voices
I'm in favor of as many choices as possible. Now that iOS has the speech API, there's no reason third-parties can't add more synthesizers to the system.
See, that’s what I thought too
See, that’s what my thoughts were as well as that with Apple, releasing the speech API to everyone who knows what could happen lol and for the people that say, it’s not likely, I understand maybe it’ll never happen, but there’s a few different apps that Microsoft has on the App Store that I would’ve never thought would be on there so maybe that means the speech could be to and for the one that said that they don’t care if more voices come on there or not and they don’t like the people asking when will this voice come and that voice come, I say, if you don’t like the thread, you don’t have to read it or comment on it. I just haven’t posted anything in a while and this has been on my mind so I thought I would put it up here lol Also people should if they have windows 11 go check out the new natural voices that are on windows 11 now they are really good better than any of the other voices I’ve heard so good in fact, that if Jaws lets you, I might switch from vocalizer over to these voices
