In addition, [[Microsoft Office]] XP and Office 2003 installed [[Lernout & Hauspie|L&H]] Michael and Michelle voices. The SAPI 5.1 SDK installs 23 more voices, ''Mike'', ''Mary'', and an additional testing voice known as "''MarySample TTS Voice''" that uses prerecorded voice recordings instead of synthesized voices. [[Windows Vista]] includes [[Microsoft text-to-speech voices#Microsoft Anna|Microsoft Anna]] which replaces Microsoft Sam and sounds more natural and intelligible. It is also installed on Windows XP by [[Microsoft Streets & Trips]] 2006 and later versions. The Chinese version of Vista and later Windows client versions also include a female voice named [[Microsoft text-to-speech voices#Microsoft Lili|Microsoft Lili]].
