	'''Sample TTS Voice''' was a demonstration text-to-speech voice designed to teach programmers how to write text-to-speech voices which interface to the Microsoft Speech API. Unlike [[Microsoft Sam]], Sample TTS Voice uses fully-spoken prerecorded clips to build its speech, instead of building it phonetically. Thus, if Sample TTS Voice runs into a word it doesn't know, it'll just default to saying "blah". (Example: "Hello, my name is Sample TTS voice!" will be pronounced as "Blah blah blah blah Sample TTS voice.")

	Sample TTS voice was brought to the text-to-speech (TTS) world by AceOfSpadesProduc100 after he got an idea when he downloaded Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 to get Natural Microsoft Mike, and Mary (his older netbook computer came preinstalled with Natural Microsoft Sam). It somehow came with Sample TTS voice when he came to look at the natural TTS voices in the Speech Properties.

	In his universe, he is a glitch TTS voice who came when Bill Gates tried to make the most natural TTS voice of all time, but his creation didn't turn out as it should be, as it almost says nothing but the word "Blah". Gates abandoned him. Sample TTS Voice discovered another glitch named Missingno. They shared their stories and followed around before and after being discovered and rescued by Microsoft Sam and the gang.

Sample TTS voice was probably a text-to-speech voice designed to demonstrate the difference between fully-recorded words (how he was made) and phonetics-mixing (how [[Microsoft Sam]] and all other TTS voices were made). So because of this, whatever word is not in his dictionary he'll pronounce as "blah" (example: "Hello, my name is Sample TTS voice!" will be pronounced as "Blah blah blah blah Sample TTS voice.").
