Microsoft Sam (SAPI 5) is a TTS (Text-to-Speech) voice featured in Windows XP with SAPI 5. It is one of the most popular voices in the TTSC, yet it is less popular than its SAPI 4 counterpart due to its widespread availability compared to (SAPI 5) Microsoft Sam being locked to Windows XP installations by default. Because this voice is bundled with Windows XP and because it sounds a lot more natural than its SAPI 4 counterpart, it has gained the title of "Windows XP Microsoft Sam" or "Natural Microsoft Sam". It has also gained the title "Narrator Microsoft Sam" being used in Windows XP's Narrator despite the fact Windows 2000 also has a narrator which uses the SAPI 4 version of Microsoft Sam.
