I'm playing with the pyttsx3 library. English assistants (standard) are output to me when I output all the available voices. I understand that i can download new voices in Windows itself, but I have voices downloaded from a third-party resource. The library does not see them, as does Windows itself, because in the register on the way
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\
there are just these 2 standard voices. At the same time, in applications such as Balabolka or TTSApp, my voices are visible and calmly reproduce speech. How do I add them to the register for further use?
I'm using Win 8.1
I was trying to find new voices in the register to export them and paste them in the right place, but didn't find them.
Windows 8.1 uses the WinRT speech API internally, which uses a different TTS engine (and different voice models) than the SAPI 5.3 engine used by pyttsx.
So you can't use SAPI 5.3 voices in WinRT applications, like Windows 8.1 Narrator.

Today I saw a video on the internet about customizing the XFCE desktop environment (video link:https://youtu.be/uvvoJU69uNo?t=1215). In the video, the launcpad area in the MacOS operating system was imitated using Rofi Launcher. I also downloaded and installed Rofi, but the interface that appeared when I ran it was much different. So I started messing around with Rofi's files and found an area where we could set the theme. When I try to try other themes, I get the error No such file or directory. How do I open this issue? I use Linux Mint 21.1.
Screenshots:
launchpad, the only theme that comes by default and works:
launchpad_theme
The error I get in other themes:

I was trying to emulate the MacOS Launchpad app using rofi launcher. But what I got in the end was much different and worse. What I expected was something like the video I linked.

Nowadays we see lots of local app stores for iOS and Android all over the world, at least there is 2 legal app stores else than Google Play in my country.
Is it possible to create a custom store like that for windows phone?
There are custom ROMs for some WP devices (googleable); also, if you developer unlock the phone officially, you can install apps (up to 10) via datacable.
But there's no quick "allow 3rd party" setting like on Android, so running a store for casual users is unrealistic.
There is no way to create a new Store on Windows Phone. You can however distribute Enterprise Applications to devices that are enrolled with your organization. See this topic for more information.

Did every application of windows is developed using WINDOWS API?
Or they use any any other kind of languages.
Can any give me the good tutorial links for developing windows application's.
Essentially, all applications running on Windows are built on top of the Windows API. This includes applications written in .NET and WinRT. Both of these systems are implemented in terms of the Windows API.
When it comes to developing applications there are countless options. You can develop Windows applications using the Windows API (C/C++/Delphi/...), the .NET framework (C#/Visual Basic.NET/F#/C++-CLI/...), or WinRT (with language projections for just about any language out there, like C++/CX).
On top of that there are numerous (GUI) frameworks available, like MFC, Qt, Windows Forms, or WPF.
Regardless of the platform, programming language, or framework, all applications will eventually call into the Windows API. Even if your next project is not going to target the Windows API directly, it's always a good idea to know what's going on underneath. A very good and compact introduction to Windows API programming is theForger's Win32 API Tutorial. For the definitive guide you should check out Charles Petzold's Programming Windows.

I am trying to start some mobile development adventure. The Windows Phone looks promising to me. But I don't want to take the wrong path.
So, what's the difference between WP7.5 and WP8 from a developer's perspective?
Will the skillset for WP7.5 still apply to WP8?
Difference? Nothing, really. The IDE is now VS2012, and you need Windows 8. The Emulator is running Hyper-V, and is a lot faster.
If you make games, you'll be have to learn DirectX instead of XNA. But for regular apps, there's no difference to the development.
You can of course use C++/CX now, should you wish it, but in reality everything is still C# 5 and XAML.
My recommendations would be to continue learning WP7, C# and XAML. Read about the new features in C# 5, specially async programming, and learn how it can enhance your development.
Right now we don't yet know the definitive details (unless someone with access to the preview SDK can expand on that) however it is unlikely that the basics will change too much.
Current standard WP7.5 apps should run on WP8 - Microsoft has said they will be centrally adjusting the apps for this compatibility.

As part of our product we use 3rd party hardware and drivers. Unfortunately, these drivers aren't signed so up pops the "Found new hardware wizard" when installing or upgrading our product. Our product is web based and allows the users access to everything they need remotely, apart from this one case.
Is there a registry hack or other OS setting that will stop the wizard appearing?
Can we sign the drivers ourselves?
Could we write a program that would click "Next, Next, Next" on the wizard that will work on all language variants of Windows?
There is 2 ways to get silent installation:
1) Sign the driver and that can be hard/impossible if you don't have the driver source code.
2) You can write a co-installer dll using this api's. The problem that this is not reliable and from our experience there is a lot of workarounds for different Windows flavors.
The only 100% reliable option will be option one.
