When an application calls GetInstalledVoices, the method verifies that each of the voices (engines for text-to-speech) it finds in the registry meets certain minimum criteria. For any voice that fails verification, GetInstalledVoices sets its Enabled property to False. An application cannot select a voice whose Enabled property is False. Typically, applications will not set a voice's Enabled property.

The speech synthesis engines that shipped with Microsoft Windows 7 work with the following language-country codes:

  • en-US. English (United States)

  • zh-CN. Chinese (China)

  • zh-TW. Chinese (Taiwan)

Two-letter language codes such as 'en' are also permitted.
