Implementing a TTS service for Windows 10

I'm working on a research project in which we create a new text-to-speech (TTS) engine, that converts text to spoken audio. As the engine is already performing good, we try to make it usable by a large number of applications which made us want the engine to show up as a TTS voice on Windows 10.

In Microsoft's developer documentations, all I found was information on how I can use exisiting/already installed voices in my application. However, I didn't find any information on how to implement a voice so that it shows up as a Windows voice and can be used by any application using the Speech SDK or SAPI.

Which interface do I have to implement or what API do I have to connect to in order to get our new TTS engine work with Windows Speech?

I already crawled the documentation of the Microsoft Speech SDK as well as developer sites like https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/dotnet/api/system.speech.synthesis.ttsengine

You should look at the TTS Engine Vendor Porting Guide. You need to implement ISpTTSEngine, which does all the work, and ISpObjectWithToken, which manages registration and creation.
