How do I add and use other text-to-speech voices? I'm running Windows XP, and my only voice so far is that of Microsoft Sam. Any information would be most appreciated.

A bunch of random ones come with it, but you can download the Microsoft voices seperately. If you can't find 'em I'll upload them and post a link.

I think you can download other voices for the text to speech/ narration system through a website somewhere, I do recall ones that installed Microsoft SAM, Microsoft Anna and some fan-made voices but I'm not exactly sure where. You can also download replacements for your assistant on Microsoft Word other than that boring old paperclip.

That little bit if information at the bottom was not required as I do not own Word.

EDIT: Come on people! I would AT LEAST Like to have Microsoft Mary! Why? I wanna make an UTAU out of her. And also Sam's voice is boring for reading stuff out.
