Not available in NVDA

NVDA, possibly the most popular open source screen reader for Windows, can't see the Divvun voices.

@kathiasi can you test that? ^^^

It is not, at least according to NVDA. This is what it looks like in Windows preferences:

Ie all voices are installed.

But when selecting Speech API 5 in the NVDA settings, the only voice accessible is an MS voice:

When selecting the Windows One Core voices, the other MS voice can be selected:

Is this something in NVDA, or something in the windows registry things for our voices?

The situation for me is very clear. Voices are 64-bit only. By default, sapi 5 control panel in windows is 64-bit, while NVDA supports 32-bit only.

This is the answer I got from NVDA:

@snomos - we are migrating to 64bit this year, we should have support in 2026.1

So in a year or so our voices should work with NVDA. @ilm024 @kathiasi

@snomos - it's not guaranteed that your voices will automatically work when NVDA is in 64bit, we will just be in a better position to support 64bit voices.
