Microsoft has just released the Windows 11 Insider build 22543 for Insiders in the Dev channel, which introduces some neat small UI tweaks, a smoother experience when resizing app windows in snap layouts, as well as more natural voices for Narrator.
WHAT’S NEW IN BUILD 22543?
More Natural Narrator Voices
● We’re introducing more natural voices for Narrator. More natural voices enable Narrator users to enjoy scenarios like browsing the web, reading, and authoring mail, and more. Natural Narrator voices use modern, on-device text to speech and once downloaded are supported without an internet connection. Natural Narrator voices are available in English-U.S.
Get Started
Narrator will announce that more natural voices, “Jenny” and “Aria”, are available when it first launches.
Select “Install now” on the announcement window to go to Narrator Settings to add the new voices. From there you can select “Add” button under the “Add natural voices” section. The dialog allows you to select either the “Jenny” or “Aria” voice. Both voices can be installed but must be installed separately. You can click “Preview” to hear a preview of the voice and you can select “Install” to start the download of the selected voice.
“Select a natural voice to install” dialog displays a list of natural voices preview, install, and cancel buttons.
CHANGES AND IMPROVEMENTS
● Building on the recent changes to the flyout design for the hardware indicators, we have updated the media controls which appear on the Lock screen when playing music in a supported app. It more closely matches the design shown for the media controls in Quick Settings when signed-in to your PC. The media controls will always use dark theme to complement the rest of the Lock Screen visual style. [We are beginning to roll this change out, so it isn’t available to all Insiders just yet as we plan to monitor feedback and see how it lands before pushing it out to everyone.]
● We have updated the experience of resizing app windows in snap layouts by overlaying the relevant app icon on top of the acrylic background. Snap some windows using the snap assist, resize the snapped window layout using the buffer and watch the other snapped windows go out-of-focus overlaid with their app icon.
● Using the WIN + ALT + K keyboard shortcut to mute your call will now show a confirmation flyout.
● The input switcher improvements announced with Build 22518, including updated design with an acrylic background, is now available to all Insiders in the Dev Channel.
● When doing a full build upgrade, the progress ring animation has been updated, aligning with the updated boot screen animation.
● Updated the design of System / Storage / Disks & Volume and Storage Spaces in Settings to align with the overall design of Settings in Windows 11. Certain options for the drive, volume, and space, like properties, are also now directly available inline on these pages as buttons without having to click that entry first.
