There are actually multiple programs to help you create voices. The problem
is they all either cost money or lock you into a certain engine. For
example Tts builder which is free from what I see locks you into using
Festival rather than SAPI 5. Voice Forge locks you into Cepstral because
the data files it makes is for that engine. Nuance voice development tools
creates voices for both SAPI and Real Speak but it costs money. You will
have to pretty much go to the individual companies to get their tools and
they don't just give them out free. Its not an easy task to really build
the perfect voice so they kind of have a squeeze hold on the market. I
think even Liquendo has a tool set but I don't know its name.

there are websites I think I heard of one. you might be able to code
something as well with the speech sdk, though I'm not totally sure. Try a
quick google, I'm pretty sure msdn should have something if it's the speech
sdk.
Thanks,

Well I was wondering,
Is there a program that will help you create Sapi5 voices?
Like something that you speak a number of letters into a microphone then it
gets an understanding of your voice and creates a sapi5 engine out of it?
