Note

Installed English Voices (e.g. Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States)) for Microsoft Windows are not needed any more as a good number of voices are provided with the program. If you still like to use windows voices, please see https://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=2288138 for installed voices and adding new ones

Important note

The audio files included in this application were generated using Microsoft Azure Speech Services (Text-to-Speech). The generated audio is used exclusively as part of this application and is not distributed as a standalone audio or voice product.

Download the zip and un-zip the contents in any folder. Run "A320 Callouts.exe" after MSFS has started. Once started, the programm can be found in the system tray and quit from there.

To autostart the program with MSFS, please follow the description "HowToAutomaticallyStart.txt" in the zip-file.

Configuration Options

Speech output can be configured using the config.ini file located in the install folder

[Debug]
# off|critical|err|warn|info|debug|trace
level = info

[TTS]
# type of speech service to use: windows|azure|own
type = windows
# Replace with custom path, default is \sound
# own.path = C:\A320 Callouts\A320 Callouts\sound

# windows.voice = Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States)
windows.voice.volume = 100

azure.speech.key =
azure.speech.endpoint =

You have to be registered to use Azure AI cognitive speech. For details, see https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/language-support?tabs=tts#prebuilt-neural-voices

Custom voices

In order to use custom voices, please follow the description "HowToUseOwnVoices.txt" provided in the zip-file. 

Custom phrases

The file "phrases.json" is used for text-to-speach generation. Feel free to change the phrases used as callouts for your own needs. To modify this file, use a text editor of your choice and modify its content.

Important

only change the content of the "phrase" tag. The content of the "id" tag has to remain unchanged. If you like to disable callouts, just provide an empty phrase for this.

The usage of modified phrases is only possible, when Windows-voices or Azure voices are used. (config.ini settings [TTS] type=windows or azure) For using own voices, you are free to record your own callouts. The provided callouts will use the standard phrases.
