Ekho Voices

Ekho Voices
Ekho Voices is a free 7-in-1 text-to-speech voice pack that supports a variety of Asian languages. Mandarin, Cantonese, Zhaoan Hakka, Ngangien, Korean, Tibetan, and English are all included! Each language uses its own unique voice to synthesize text to speech. Ekho voices will detect input automatically in Balabolka and speak the proper language when there is a mix of English and another as well.

Notes:
-Due to my primitive Mandarin skills, I am unaware of whether other Chinese dialects contain different grammar structures.
-Ekho Tibetan (Windows version) appears to have an issue with rendering text-to-speech. Some characters may not produce a sound! The Linux version is fine though!
-I am not aware of which accent this Tibetan TTS voice follows.
-Ekho Zhaoan Hakka did not recognize the "霜" character while synthesizing speech.
