You can download some more voices from many free TTS voices (which may not be so good). One of the sources for downloading free Microsoft and LTS TTS voices is Zero2000. You can also purchase very high quality TTS voices for Windows from companies like Ivona, Cepstral or CereProc.

Narrator for Windows (all versions) has a few built-in options for male and female voices.
To set Narrator voice options (Microsoft)
Here is a good source for more voices:
Best Free Windows Narrator Voices You Can Use (Zero2000.com)
Excerpt:
In the world of today, more and more people use the text to speech computer technology to free their eyes and save time. As a vital component of the text to speech technology, voices, i.e. speech engines, are the core of text to speech software. Because text to speech software need to invoke voices to synthetic speech and output spoken audio.
There are many voices available on the Internet today, such as AT&T Natural Voices, Cepstral voices, IVONA voices, CereProc voices, NeoSpeech voices, etc. But most of these voices are commercial and the prices are even higher than the prices of normal text-to-speech software. For example, the prices of AT&T Natural Voices are $35 (base required) plus $35 per additional voice, and the prices of Cepstral voices are &29.99 per voice.
Fortunately, there are also enough high-quality free voices we can use. Most of them are compatible with the Microsoft SAPI 4 or SAPI 5. Generally, the higher SAPI version, the better quality.
Here is the free voices list sorted by the recommended degree.
Microsoft Mike, Mary and Sam -
Microsoft Sam is the default English male voice shipped with Microsoft Windows 2000 and Windows XP. Though not the default, Microsoft Sam is also available in Windows Vista Home Premium. It is used by Narrator, the screen reader program built into the operating system.
Microsoft Mike and Microsoft Mary are optional male and female voices respectively with better quality, available for download from the Microsoft website or other third party text-to-speech related websites.
The most noticeable feature of these three voices is there are both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 versions of them. SAPI 5 voices are only available on Windows 2000 and later Windows NT-based operating systems. As an exception, the SAPI 5 versions of these voices cannot be installed on Windows Vista and Windows 7. The SAPI 4 versions are more compatible. They can be installed and used on Windows 98 and all the later Windows operating systems.
Microsoft Anna -
Microsoft Anna is the default English voice shipped with Windows Vista and Windows 7. Microsoft Anna is a SAPI 5-only voice and is designed to sound more natural than the previous system default voice Microsoft Sam.
This excellent female voice is base on the new Microsoft SAPI 5.3/5.4. So you cannot use it on Windows XP directly and also there is no standalone installer of this voice on the Microsoft website. The only way to use this fantastic voice on Windows XP is by the Microsoft Streets & Trips. The Microsoft Streets & Trips 2006 and later versions install the voice and the new Microsoft SAPI onto Windows XP computers for the voice-prompt direction feature.
Some third party text-to-speech related websites supply smaller repacked Microsoft Anna installers for Windows XP users. However, it's incomplete and not working correctly on Windows XP because the SAPI version of Windows XP is 5.1.
Lernout & Hauspie Voices -
Lernout & Hauspie Speech Products, or L&H, was a leading Belgium-based speech recognition technology company. This company released dozens of high-quality SAPI 4 voices across multiple languages, including ten American English voices and two British English voices.
In addition, Lernout & Hauspie Michael and Michelle are also optional male and female voices licensed by Microsoft from Lernout & Hauspie, and available through Microsoft Office XP and Microsoft Office 2003 or Microsoft Reader.
Most of the above voices can be found on the Microsoft's website or downloaded directly from the 2nd Speech Center web site. Click here to download them immediately.

If your an Iron-Man fan or a total geek like myself then I am sure you have thought about running j.A.R.V.I.S on your PC, forget Siri, Cortana or even Google Now when you can have your own customised voice assistant for your PC.
While many voice assistants require the internet and only perform functions such as finding the weather or searching for stuff online. While these features may be handy they don’t offer advanced functionality such as running scripts or launching tasks etc.
In this tutorial we will explore a simple way to setup a J.A.R.V.I.S like assistant that you can use on your PC, of course this won’t be as awesome as the real J.A.R.V.I.S on Iron Man but will offer some cool functionality.
Requirements:
– A Windows PC (unfortunately the developers have not made a Mac or Linux version so just Windows for now)
– A microphone (this can be a external microphone or headset and possibly internal microphone on a laptop) – J.A.R.V.I.S Software by LINKS (download free here)
-Latest version of .NET framework (can be installed free from here)
– SQL server Local DB Package 32 bit (download here)
– SQL server Local DB Package 64 bit (download here)
Optional:
-Rainmeter (free theme program can be found here)
-J.A.R.V.I.S theme available here
To get started begin by downloading the software from LINKS after installing the previous packages from Microsoft, you can choose from Mark II or Mark III, at the time of writing Mark III is in closed beta and will be available soon so we will use Mark II.
Next up launch the program and follow all prompts to install the software onto your PC, it may prompt you to download other components mentioned above if yes then follow prompts to install those onto your computer.

At this point you may also be prompted to select your sound source, this may include an external desktop microphone or perhaps a headset whichever one suits your PC choose it but make sure it is plugged in first.
May 20, 2009 Asi, Episode 1, part 1 Tuba Buyukustun & Murat Yildirim Translated by: MUZIKfactory Please do NOT copy the videos unless you intend to add Arabic subtitles in which case please drop me a mail to. In the final episode of 'Asi', Asya's wishes one by one come true. Thanks to his daughter, Demir can overcome his illness. Demir accepts Asi's marriage proposal and they marry once again in a private ceremony on the beach. Aslan and Inci also marry and have a grand celebration in the garden of the Kozcuoglu plantation. Asi turkish episode in arabic.
Upon installation head back to the desktop and you should now see a new icon called “LINKS” open it and you should see a small orb open on your screen, from here click the centre of the orb and move the cursor to each corresponding tab to choose your options. (if unsure how to navigate the interface refer to my video which shows the complete software)
Now you can have some fun and go all out with scripts and custom voice commands, to maximize this it is recommended to have some knowledge in VB or Batch to create Windows scripts.
If you are new to scripting don’t worry because it isn’t really hard, you can even search for many scripts and easily make them yourself. If you don’t want to mess with scripts you can set commands to open your favorite websites like Facebook or YouTube and even launch your favorite programs such as Chrome, Spotify or any other favorites.
Once you are finished you may want to the set the program to start on boot to save you opening the program every time, to do this go to Start – All programs – Startup and right-click the folder and choose “open all users”.
Now copy and paste the desktop shortcut into the folder and it will start on the next boot.
For reference here is some of the scripts I used:
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Shutdown.bat
@echo off
shutdown/s
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
reboot.bat
c:windowssystem32shutdown -r -t 00
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
lock.bat
Rundll32.exe User32.dll,LockWorkStation
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
shutdown abort.bat
@echo off
shutdown/a
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

open cdrom tray.vbs
Dim WMP: Set WMP = CreateObject(“WMPlayer.ocx”)
Dim colCDROMS: Set colCDROMS = WMP.CDROMCollection
If colCDROMS.Count > -1 Then
For i = 0 to colCDROMS.Count – 1 colCDROMS.Item(i).Eject Next End If
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
To use these scripts open up notepad and paste the code in, then press File – Save As – Change bottom menu to “all files” then put in filename and extension .bat or .vbs
Feel free to share your own scripts or ask for help if needed in the comments section below.
Jarvis Voice Assistant For Windows 10Install the extra’s (optional):
If you would like to complete the transformation and really make your PC look like J.A.R.V.I.S from Iron Man then there are some extra things your going to need to do.
The first thing to do would be to install Rainmeter and the J.A.R.V.I.S theme, the theme can be installed by double-clicking the file after Rainmeter is installed onto the computer.
Now just follow the prompts and you should immediately see a selection of widgets on your desktop click and drag the widget to the desired location, any widgets that you don’t want can easily be removed by right clicking and choosing “unload”.
You can also go in and apply an HD wallpaper to fit the theme of your new desktop.
However there is still one problem, the voice by default Windows will revert to the default sounds for it’s AI which in my opinion sounds horrible, unfortunately the only working method to get the Jarvis voice is through a paid program called Ivona and a separate module called “Brian UK voice”.
Jarvis Voice For Windows 10 64
Despite the program being paid you may be able to acquire a free trial which should work indefinitely.
That’s it now you can ditch Siri, Cortana and other voice assistants and stand out from the crowd with your own personalized J.A.R.V.I.S system!
