I'm trying to figure what other voices I have access to with Studio. We want to change the voice from the horribly monotone male voice, to something female. Studies have shown that female voices are better received than male voices. Anyway, if anyone can point in the right direction for figuring this out it would much appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I have found this blog with some more technical details in Windows 10 and in Microsoft Edge :

I also found some example in C# in Unity3D where voice can be changed :

But in GitHub repository, link to source code is not present anymore.

In Hololens 1, in Settings, the menu about language are not present.

We can just select one language.

I am checking with R&D to see if something is possible in JavaScript in Hololens.

Best regards,

Samuel
