There are no configurations for TTS voices for Windows within your audio editing software. TTS Windows 10 voices and languages need to be chosen in the settings, the same is true for other versions. Sometimes, Windows has default settings applied, but on Windows 11, 10, 7 you can change the text to speech voice and locale manually.
By default, the voices for your computer's current language are already installed. But if you need to install a second language, or if additional voices are released for your primary language, you can install them as well.
In Word, for example, click "Review" and then click "Read Aloud." A playback control menu will appear in the top-right of the screen. Click the gear icon to open the Read Aloud settings. Here, you can choose the voice you want to use in Word.

However, you can purchase premium voices for 29 languages, and with different regional accents (i.e. Scottish English). The voices range in price (most of the non-English voices are $45 each), and you can sample them before you buy.
