Custom Text-to-Speech Voices on Windows 10
Can I replace Windows 11's built-in TTS voices with custom ones? Where are the voice files located?

In Windows 11, the built-in Text-to-Speech (TTS) voices are managed through the Speech API (SAPI) and are integrated into the operating system. While Windows provides a set of built-in voices, replacing or adding custom voices isn't straightforward, as the voices are stored in specific system locations and are tightly integrated.
