voices in my pc

[Doug]

Hi,

I like to listen to the microsoft reader reading ebooks - particularly when
my vision isn't too good (I have some vision impairment). However I am
really sick of the sound of Microsoft Sam's voice. I was wondering is there
another voice that I could use or download say - Samantha?

Thanks

Doug

thanks - but do you know how they get installed. I have downloaded the
SAPI4 files but still can't see them as options for the speaker in control
panel, speech.

Doesn't appear to be any doco that comes with them either.
