Did you restart your computer after installing the voices? That may be the problem.

If that doesn’t fix it, try going to your control panel, and making it the L & H voice the default voice. Then go to Etriloquist, to the speech settings, and select it.

The problem I am having is with intstallation.

I downloaded two L&H voices, but after install they did not show up in etriloquist?

Hi Antoinette,

Check out the voices for sale at www.nextup.com. Only the AT&T and Cepstral voices will work with Etriloquist (Acapela and RealSpeak require that you purchase the NextUp Talker software). The voices cost $30-35 each.

RealSpeak (for NextUp Talker) has a female Brazilian Portuguese voice, but no male voice.

I am working with a Brazilian man who has an ALS. I am trying to get him set up on etriloquist. But, the only voice option I have is “Anna.”

How do I install a male (English) voice? Also, is there a portguese voice available that will run on his machine?

I did not look to see if he has a 32-bit or 64-bit machine – if that makes a difference, I can find out.

Thanks,
