Install Third-Party Voices: - You can also install third-party voices for TTS. These are not available through the Microsoft Store. - Download the voice package from a trusted source. Make sure it is compatible with your Windows version. - Install the voice package following the provided instructions. This might involve executing an installer or copying files to the correct directory. 3. Change the TTS Voice: - After installing new voices, you can change the TTS voice in Windows settings. - Go to Settings > Time & Language > Speech. - Under Manage voices for Speak & Typing, select the dropdown menu next to Voice. - Choose the newly added voice from the list of available voices. 4. Testing the New Voice: - To test if the new voice is working correctly, you can use any text-to-speech application or function on your computer.
