Microsoft Anna (Voice) is a TTS (Text-to-Speech) voice introduced in Windows Vista and 7 with SAPI 5. The voice was created mainly to replace Microsoft Sam and rival Mac Alex. It is one of the most common voices used in the TTSC as she is known for her association with Windows Vista. Because this voice is bundled with Windows Vista, it has gained a pretty bad reputation. The voice also has it's fair share of mispronunciations which are (if not already) listed in this article.
