How to get Bouyomi-chan Japanese Speech to work in English Windows 10
Problem:
You are trying to use Bouyomichan (棒読みちゃん) on a non-Japanese install of Windows 10, and have installed AquesTalk correctly. However, AquesTalk v1 voices (女性1, etc) don't work in Bouyomichan. Microsoft Haruka and similar voices DO work, however.
Solution:
Your non-Unicode programs language is probably set a non-Japanese language.
1. Search for "Control Panel" and open it.
2. If your View is set to "Category", click "Clock and Region", then click "Region". If your View is set to "Icons", click "Region".
3. Select the "Administrative" tab.
4. In the "Language for non-Unicode programs", click "Change system locale" to "Japanese (Japan)". Save the setting.
