Bob,

That really is up to you. There are different voices for each... But the Speech Platform seems to be Microsoft's next generation of SAPI. So this appears to be the future...at least at the moment.

Doug,

Is there any advantage to installing the Microsoft platform voices over the
Microsoft SAPI 5 voices in Windows 8?

Dear confused (smile),

Microsoft speech platform voices can be installed on Vista and above.
They do not support Windows XP.  In order to install them you will need
to first install the speech platform.  This is its own installer.  After
installing the platform you can install each of the individual voices.
Once you have both installed you can go to the Window-Eyes select synth
list and select Microsoft Speech Platform and then tab to the installed
engines.  After selecting the engine you want just hit enter to activate
it.  You can download the Microsoft platform and TTS engine by going to
the Voices page.  Just select more voices from the Window-Eyes help
menu.  The Microsoft installs are way at the bottom of this web page.
