To make NVDA (Non Visual Desktop Access) read Hindi language, you'll need to install and configure an appropriate Hindi synthesizer or voice. Following are the steps for it:
First, you'll need to download and install a Hindi synthesizer or voice. One popular option is eSpeak NG, which supports multiple languages including Hindi.
You can download it from the official website: https://github.com/espeak-ng/espeak-ng
After downloading the Hindi synthesizer, follow the installation instructions provided by the software.
Open the NVDA menu and select Preferences > Settings... > Synthesizer.
Select the Hindi synthesizer you installed (e.g., eSpeak NG with Hindi language).
In NVDA, go to Preferences > Settings... > Speech. In the Language dropdown menu, select "Hindi".
Open a document, website, or application that contains Hindi text and have NVDA read it out. It should now use the Hindi voice provided by the synthesizer you installed.
Note: Keep in mind that the quality of the voice and its ability to accurately pronounce Hindi text may vary depending on the synthesizer you choose. Experiment with different synthesizers to find one that works best for you.
