The Voice Synthesizer (text-to-speech) allows you to create automatic announcements that will be read by the program. You can specify the text to be read by the program or specify the path to the file with the text. The file or text can contain XML tags according to Speech API: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms717077(v=vs.85).aspx
