Wrong narrator language
My Windows is set to German, but all the VarAC texts are in English. This makes for a narration with a terrible accent. :) It would be nice if the TTS voice was set to English.

Thanks!
It does strike me as a hack to change the system wide default settings just for one app, though. What would be rather practical is if I could choose between the installed voices in the VarAC settings. There´s that selection box that allows me to choose between male and female voice (which doesn´t do anything for me). This could be polulated by the actually installed voices instead.
Here´s how language packs look like on my machine:
