How to install more voices to Windows Speech? Click 'Download' c) select the voice files you want. They are the ones that have 'TTS' in the file name. There are 6 English (all female). I have not listened to the other languages, so I dont know how they sound. ZiraPro sounds so much more natural than Robotic Anna but it doesn't work when.
I downloaded another TTS pack from Microsoft Speech Platform - Runtime Languages (Version 11), but in the speech properties this pack doesn't show up.
The image bellow lists all packs installed, which came by default in my Windows 8 installation.
But it is not supported on windows 8, so how can I install more packs?

Edit the voices1/2 files
Step 5: --------------------------------------------------------------------------
Merge the new Registry files into your registry
You should now have access to the new voices in Voice Attack, and in the Windows TTS options menu.
This process may also work with other voice packs.
fixer1234You might be installing 32-bit voices that are unavailable when using the 64-bit Speech Properties dialog that you normally see on 64-bit Windows.
Try using the 32-bit dialog by invoking %windir%sysWOW64speechSpeechUXSAPI.cpl.
Add new language in Control panel and then download language pack in there.
