[SpeechStudio] Voices other than Microsoft Sam

[SpeechStudio Support]

SpeechStudio installs Microsoft's two other voices,
Mary and Mike, except on Windows XP.  On XP,
a bug in Microsoft's redistributables prevents these
voices from being installed.  Microsoft has recently
fixed the problem in the redistributable; however,
we haven't updated the SpeechStudio release with
these new bits.

If you aren't on XP, you should see Microsoft Mary
and Mike in the text-to-speech tab of the Speech
Control panel.

Office XP ships with two voices, LH Michael and
LH Michelle.  They are installed with Office XP if
speech is being installed.

There are other SAPI 5 voices available, such as
AT&T Natural Voices and Fonix.  I don't know
if they have downloads available.

Some of our other products have been updated to
install Mary and Mike on Windows XP.  If you'd
like to try those voices, let me know and I will see
if we can arrange it.
