Microsoft Sam (SAPI 4) is a TTS (Text-to-Speech) voice introduced in Windows 2000 with SAPI 4[1]. It is the most common voice used in the TTSC as it is widely available for download throughout the internet. Because this voice is available with Speakonia, it has gained the title of the "Speakonia Version" of Microsoft Sam. The Microsoft Sam voice as heard in Windows XP can be found at Microsoft Sam (SAPI 5).
