pronunciation error(?) and how to add one more language

leuas

pronunciation error:
so in my windows pc, the source text language(STL) I set is English, but when I look up Finnish words would have Finnish pronunciation, but now same settings in my my virtual windows, pronunciation became English one(English pronunciation in Finnish words. Is it a kind of issue? Like didn't detect the right language.

(actually have some kind of different, but just virtual machine's STL is English(US), I don't know if it would cause problems, anything else remain same as my windows pc.

how to add one more language:
when I click the button in below picture, it just jump to windows setting, how do I add one more STL which would be detected also. And currently if I want to change the STL, seemingly I need to reinstall lookupper, or does it have any way to do so?

leuas Yeah, I see. It’s not intuitive that to install more languages, you need to add them in Windows Settings. The corresponding OCR model should be installed with the language, if available.

There’s another way to install OCR models for a particular language using PowerShell.

In case of incorrect audio, could you please record a video showing the selected OCR language and the incorrect lookups? It would be helpful.

leuas

got it, video is below. Maybe the audio issue is because I didn't install Finnish language.

edit: I don't know if you could watch that video properly, in Mac safari, it seems like I couldn't open this video ( only 2-3 seconds could see)

Thank you for the video. From what I see, the language of your words is marked with the US flag, which usually means the OCR language was set to English (US) during lookup.

Lookupper uses the selected OCR language to generate audio. In your case, it’s English, so it provides English audio.

Could you let me know why you’re using English as the OCR language while looking up Finnish words? That way, I can find a solution to this issue.

P.S. On Mac, you can use the built-in screen recording feature—just press Shift + Command + 5 to activate it.

thank you for tip, if I use Finnish as OCR language, the lookupper dictionary would display in Finnish, but I want it to display in English.

(OCR language is Finnish )

(OCR language is English )

And also I don't know why I couldn't download the language pack or sort of thing. And the command in the website you sent me, seemingly work a little bit. Unfortunately I didn't capture the screen when I run the command.

$Capability = Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object { $_.Name -Like 'Language.OCRen-US' }
after running this, nothing happened and no response from powershell, but I could immediately run another command.
$Capability | Add-WindowsCapability -Online
After running this one, start downloading something, seems work well. Maybe the commands cause the below issue(?)

I see. You want to see the Lookupper Dictionary definition in another language, specifically not the one chosen for OCR. I could add a language definition setting for this.

Installing OCR Languages

First, check which OCR languages are installed by running:

Get-WindowsCapability -Online | Where-Object { $_.Name -Like 'Language.OCR*' }

Then, copy the full language name you want to install. For example, to install Finnish:

Add-WindowsCapability -Online -Name 'Language.OCR~~~fi-FI~0.0.1.0'

Notice that I inserted the full name into the command. You can do the same for any listed language.

You could run the first command again to verify that the language is in the “Installed” state now.

it turned out the the pack state is just install pending, after I update the windows, all thing is fine. And Thank you for your command!
