 | Limited Feature Set Many TTSCpedia features are currently semi-broken due to regressions introduced with the MediaWiki upgrade. We hope to be fully operational again soon. The MonoBook skin has temporarily been set as the default skin due to Cali not being fully ported to the new version of MediaWiki. |

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, being less popular than it's SAPI 4 counterpart due to it's 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 it's 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.
