Microsoft SAM TTS library or setup?
I searched everywhere for a way to harness Microsoft SAM text-to-speech, but I couldnt find anything useful. Maybe Im just not searching the right places? anyhow, I wanted to know if anyone knew how to set up these TTS programs for use in a .Net project (as a library or an executable)

@icedchai™ are you talking about https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.speech.synthesis?view=net-9.0-pp ?
System.Speech.Synthesis Namespace
Contains classes for initializing and configuring a speech synthesis engine, for creating prompts, for generating speech, for responding to events, and for modifying voice characteristics.
If you study more about the modern cloud based text-to-speech services/APIs, you will find much more powerful approaches like Azure Speech SDK, https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/ai-services/speech-service/speech-sdk
I have a good feeling the end goal here is to specifically use microsoft SAM for funsies (or whatever the real reason is)
I wonder how old Microsoft Sam Reads Funny Windows Errors is.
Sixteen years old!
I am wanting to use Microsoft SAM specifically so that I can mass process a batch of words as audio files, yes it is for funsies
Thank you guys for the resources
