Installing More Desktop Voices

@Athena. How can I access more desktop voices? The only voices available to choose in Speech Settings  are Hazel, David and Zira. There are many other voices in Windows Settings but they do not appear in Arc.

@afcorson I have used Cereproc voices and I don't recall any slow downs. It should operate just as the Microsoft David voice.

I tried Cereproc Lawrence and Millie and my Win11 laptop. The response time was a joke. So there's a mystery there.

I just used the basic speech setting skill since we can use all those new effects like chorus,reverb and flanger effect. I was able to make the default David voice sound exactly like the Proteus computer/robot in the Demon Seed movie, very freaky coming out of my Roomba!
