Microsoft Windows XP Text To Speech 5.1

Microsoft Windows XP Text To Speech is the built-in speech synthesis component of Windows XP, developed by Microsoft Corporation. Powered by the Microsoft Speech API (SAPI 5), it converts on-screen text into spoken words to improve accessibility, support hands-free use, and assist with tasks like proofreading and screen reading.

Key features:

• Built-in voice: Includes the Microsoft Sam voice (U.S. English) by default, with support for additional SAPI 5–compatible voices when installed.
• System integration: Works with Windows XP Narrator, Accessibility options, and third-party applications that target SAPI 5.
• Easy configuration: Adjust voice selection, speaking rate, volume, and output device from Control Panel > Speech > Text to Speech.
• Developer support: Exposes COM-based SAPI interfaces (and .NET interop) for embedding text-to-speech in custom applications.
• Multilingual options: Additional languages are available by installing compatible voice packs.

Note: This is a legacy component designed for Windows XP. Voice quality and language availability depend on installed voices and may be more limited than in newer Windows versions.
