Windows – How to add the Microsoft Hazel text-to-speech voice back to Windows 10

text to speechtext-to-speech-voiceswindowswindows 10

I have had the US version of Windows: previously 8.1 and now 10. In 8.1, Microsoft supplied three text-to-speech voices: Zira, David, and Hazel. Hazel is UK voice and is now missing from Windows 10. Therefore, it seems like a feature has been removed.

Is there way to manually add Hazel back to Windows 10?
