Text To Speech Engines
Audio
Caller ID uses a Text To Speech (TTS) engine to announce
incoming callers. If you do not currently have a TTS
engine, you can download one for free from this page. To
find out if you already have a TTS engine installed,
select "File / Options... / Audio" from within
Audio Caller ID. If you have a TTS installed you will see
a list of available voices.

SAPI 4 is an older

have more voices available. To use SAPI 4 first install spchapi.exe, and then msttsl.exe.
