There are number of possible combinations of voices and languages to select from when using LumenVox TTS. If there is ambiguity whenever a language or a specific voice is used, the TTS server needs to determine how best to select the appropriate language or voice to use.
Prior to LumenVox version 11.0, this selection was based on the languages and voices that were installed, and also the order in which the operating system detected those language/voice files.
Starting with LumenVox version 11.0, the TTS Server will select the appropriate language and voice based on the following set of prioritization rules.
TTS Engine Selection
Given the choice between TTS engines, TTS1 will be preferred over TTS2
