Yes. To change SAPI settings go to
C:\Windows\System32\control.exe
Don't worry, that will only run the 32 bit version of the control panel. From there, tab to Ease of Access, then Speech Recognition, then Text To Speech. There, you can change the rate, as well as switch between a few voices. Most likely, only Microsoft's voices will be available. But still, Microsoft David is at least slightly better than Microsoft Zera.
Thanks for the reminder, BTW. This information should now also be a guide on top of my Code 7 Tips folder.
