This property holds the name of a voice

Access functions:

QString | name() const

## Member Function Documentation

### QVoice::QVoice()

Constructs an empty QVoice.

Application code cannot construct arbitrary voice instances. Use QTextToSpeech::availableVoices() or QTextToSpeech::findVoices() instead to select a supported voice.

### `[noexcept]` QVoice::QVoice(const QVoice &other)

Copy-constructs a QVoice from other.

### `[noexcept]` QVoice::QVoice(QVoice &&other)

Constructs a QVoice object by moving from other.

### `[noexcept]` QVoice::~QVoice()

Destroys the QVoice instance.

### `[static]` QString QVoice::ageName(QVoice::Age age)

Returns a string representing the age class of a voice.

### `[static]` QString QVoice::genderName(QVoice::Gender gender)

̈́ Returns the gender name of a voice.

### `[noexcept, since 6.4]` void QVoice::swap(QVoice &other)

Swaps other with this voice. This operation is very fast and never fails.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

### `[noexcept]` QVoice &QVoice::operator=(QVoice &&other)

Moves other into this QVoice object.

### `[noexcept]` QVoice &QVoice::operator=(const QVoice &other)

Assigns other to this QVoice object.

## Related Non-Members

### `[noexcept]` bool operator!=(const QVoice &lhs, const QVoice &rhs)

Returns whether the lhs voice and the rhs voice are different.

### `[since 6.4]` QDataStream &operator<<(QDataStream &stream, const QVoice &voice)

Serializes voice to data stream stream.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

See also Serializing Qt Data Types.

### `[since 6.4]` QDebug operator<<(QDebug debug, const QVoice &voice)

Writes information about voice to the debug stream.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

See also QDebug.

### `[noexcept]` bool operator==(const QVoice &lhs, const QVoice &rhs)

Returns whether the lhs voice and the rhs voice are identical.

Two voices are identical if name, locale, gender, and age are identical, and if they belong to the same text-to-speech engine.

### `[since 6.4]` QDataStream &operator>>(QDataStream &stream, QVoice &voice)

Deserializes voice from data stream stream.

This function was introduced in Qt 6.4.

See also Serializing Qt Data Types.
