I have set my text to speech voice to US David but keep getting UK Hazel. The MS Support person didn't help; the info she sent pertained to adding new voices, not making Windows accept a change to a different voice.

    Hello,

    Thank you for posting your query on Microsoft Forums and apology for the delayed response.

    I understand that you are experiencing issue with changing text to speech voice in Speech Recognition. I would certainly help you with this.

    To change the Text-to-Speech voice or engine, follow these steps:

    1. Click Start, click Control Panel, and then double-click Speech.
    2. On the Te xt-to-Speech tab, the name displayed in the Voice selection drop-down list is the active voice.
    3. Click the active voice inside the drop-down list, or use the arrow to display a list of available voices.
    4. Click a new voice to select it.

    The newly selected voice speaks the text in Preview Voice box. 5. Click OK or Apply to accept the new voice.

    For more speech recognition settings you may refer the Microsoft articles below:
