This install will install Simon on your machine. Simon is a text to speech app with 72 English language voices that use Microsoft Cognitive Service Text to Speech API. You can filter the voices by Gender and / or Country.

You must create a free Microsoft Azure account, an Azure Resource Group and an Azure Speech Service account. I use the Free pricing tier, which provides 500,000 free characters per month.

After you setup Microsoft Azure, you must create two Environment Variables on your machine.

Name: SpeechKey
Enter your key for your Speech Service account.

Name: SpeechRegion
Value: Enter your region, such as centralus
