Next Generation (NG) Text To Speech (TTS) for Indian Languages

The Next Generation (NG) TTS engine uses Deep Neural Network algorithm to generate natural (human) sounding speech for Assamese, Bengali, Gujarati, Hindi, Kannada, Malayalam, Marathi, Nepali, Odia and Punjabi, Tamil and Telugu.

Version 1.5 simplifies installation by making the Hear2Read NG voice manager accessible through the NVDA menu (NVDA key+N, or clicking the NVDA icon in the taskbar tray). It is no longer a separate program accessed using the desktop icon. All other addon features and NG voices are the same as in version 1.4.

Users updating to v1.5 from an older version should uninstall the older version using Windows Add/Remove program. This will remove both Hear2Read shortcut icons (NG Manager and NG.nvda-addon) from the desktop.

Version 1.4 is available for users who are relying on the Tutorials available on the TUTORIALS page, while we are working on tutorials for version 1.5.


Sanskrit is only supported by the original Hear2Read TTS NVDA Addon. It is available here.
