Hi Michael, Well, if you are looking for free voices for Windows 7 there aren't a whole lot to choose from. Basically, you are limited to Espeak from http://www.espeak.sourceforge.net which is fairly robotic sounding, but is fast and responsive as a synthesizer as you are going to find.
However, if you are willing to spend a little cash for a decent voice there are a lot of choices out there. First, there are the Cepstral voices from http://www.cepstral.com which are fairly decent for games as well as screen readers. There is the Ivona TTS voices from http://www.ivona.com which are a bit expensive, but are among the best sounding voices I have ever used. There are the Cereproc voices from http://www.cereproc.com which aren't too bad. These aren't my favorite, but are worth checking out. Bottom line, in my opinion unless you are willing to pay $30 or so for a high quality voice you aren't going to find any better than Anna for free for Windows 7. Windows 8 has some better SAPI voices, but that's going to cost you more than just buying some third-party voices from the sites listed above. Cheers!
