It is the combination of the Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) that can recognize human voice, and the Text-to-Speech (TTS) Engine that can convert written text to audio. This API (Application Programming Interface) is really easy to use, if you know some programming.

It also installs a CHM help file that clearly explains all the programming methods and parameters of this API.
