Since that code uses the Microsoft voice synth, it will use the default voice the user has installed on their computer (ie, Microsoft Sam for winXP or Microsoft Anna for Windows 7). I don't think you can include a voice file with your application if you're going to use that code.

However, there are additionnal voices you can download on the Internet, if you want to use it on your own computer, or link users to it. There are a few you can find here.

You don't. You just install it along with your computer's default voice. Then, in the voice settings in the control panel, you can change the default voice for your own computer.

you can download other free TTS Engines from MS (like 1 maybe) but the rest that I found you have to pay for. and they are not cheap.
