Please Bring Back Microsoft Sam in an Update

I would like to see the old options available for TTS instead of just one
(Anna). Please bring back the Microsoft Sam we all know and love.

Apparently you are not alone...

You might ask in the visual studio newsgroup in case anyone is working
with the new Speech API and knows how you can get SAM installed under

You might also look here, nothing useful as yet but another post may

no Sam but you can find a Microsoft FRANK and a Microsoft Bill Yanair here

the only problem is that the voices sound a little like monkeys talking
