Something you never thought possible is possible in only 4 steps! This tutorial shows how to install the SAPI 5 versions of Microsoft Sam, Mike, and Mary (The Windows XP voices) to work in Narrator, and not just Speakonia. Even though the procedure was performed in Windows 10, it will work in Windows 7, Windows Vista, and Windows 8.1. Original installer links are located near the bottom of this description.
