Cannot set voice. No matching voice is installed or the voice was disabled

[liudonghua123]

I tried the example code on windows. But it failed with Error: Exception calling "SelectVoice" with "1" argument(s): "Cannot set voice. No matching voice is installed or the voice was disabled." error.

// automatically pick platform
const say = require('say')

// or, override the platform
// const Say = require('say').Say
// const say = new Say('darwin' || 'win32' || 'linux')

// Use default system voice and speed
say.speak('Hello!')

// Stop the text currently being spoken
say.stop()

// More complex example (with an OS X voice) and slow speed
say.speak("What's up, dog?", 'Alex', 0.5)

// Fire a callback once the text has completed being spoken
say.speak("What's up, dog?", 'Good News', 1.0, (err) => {

    return console.error(err)

  console.log('Text has been spoken.')
});

// Export spoken audio to a WAV file
say.export("I'm sorry, Dave.", 'Cellos', 0.75, 'hal.wav', (err) => {

  }

  console.log('Text has been saved to hal.wav.')
})

I tested $speak on windows. it seems like the voice chooser has bug.

[liudonghua123]

I found it's the code problem, I need to update the example code around voice like 'Good News' or 'Alex' which doesn't exists locally.
