When an application calls GetInstalledVoices, the method verifies that each of the voices (engines for text-to-speech) it finds in the registry meets certain minimum criteria. For any voice that fails verification, GetInstalledVoices sets its Enabled property to False. An application cannot select a voice whose Enabled property is False. Typically, applications will not set a voice’s Enabled property.
