Unable to get the newly installed voices in Windows #129

I have downloaded and installed few more synthetic voices for my windows, but when I try to list it only gives me 3 which were there by default. I see these new voices listed in the narrator as well as speech settings for my pc. Do I need to follow any other steps so that I can get it using engine.getProperty('Voices'). Kindly help.

Issue Label Bot is not confident enough to auto-label this issue. See dashboard for more details.

This library is only support sAPI5. The hiden voices maybe sAPI4. If you wanna get all of it you can using Reg. This video: https://youtu.be/qVMHoCtjLag?t=1031

Nb. The task here is to support uwp voices. It’s something that MS hasn’t really continued with so I’m reluctant to do it but I’ll have a look

nb. It’s my understanding from looking at the reg file of that video it’s not a sapi 4 problem but a uwp issue. I would like to get sapi4 and uwp working if possible but it will take some work.
