There seems to be only one voice available with this operating system: Anna.
Since this program is meant to be used for voice training with a man who 
suffered a stroke and has a speech impairment, I would like the voice to be 
male, could even be the same one that is the default on XP.

Is there any way to add voices to this Vista operating system?
Thanks,
   John

Well, I have the file Sp5TTIntXP.Msm but I don't know what to do with it.
As far as I can tell from what documentation I can access (I can't run 
sapi.chm - it seems it can't access the web), it needs to be installed on 
the client computer.  The process (which is rather unclear to me) seems like 
it might be dangerous to the operating system if it is Vista and not XP. 
So, I am hesitant to try it.

Thanks,
   John
