Getting more Text-to-Speech voices for Audition in Microsoft

Hello, 

I wondered if anyone could please advise me on how to access more voices on Microsoft, and how to get Adobe Audition to recognise these voices as options? 

 

I have tried Zero2000 which I saw recommended on a Microsoft users forum, but I was not able to download the voices I wanted (British English, as I work for a UK company who want to text-to-speech for some videos). I have to request permission from IT to install .exe files, and when we sat down together to install the voice files from Zero2000, unfortunately it was recognised as malicious. 

 

If anyone has any recommendations on a safe way to get access to any more voices, I would be very grateful.

 

Thanks very much!

    Microsoft added a bunch of natural voices  which can be downloaded via narrator in settings.   But I downloaded some but they do not show up in windows  found this link  on how to get new voices recognize   https://stackoverflow.com/questions/58189350/installed-text-to-speech-voices-not-showing-up-in-system-speech-options-windows   

     seems a bit involved  may have to get Msft to make registry changes
