so I tried to find that app called Balabolka, what I found didn't seem to run on windows 10, it install but didn't load correctly.

also as far as I know these two voices are only available so far in read aloud in the new Chromium-based Edge browser, I don't think Microsoft is going to put them into the text to speech feature of windows 10 as far as I know.

anyway if you could make an chrome edge supported plugin that works with an chrome epub reader since the text to speech seems to work somewhat in this new edge you can load some of the google chromes stores plugins in the edge browser, it supports EPUB READER plugin in the new edge browser and it can be used with epub files and read aloud using the voices, I just can't get it to convert them to mp3 files as far as I know. its plugin Version: 1 . 0 . 3. and please note that some of the chrome plugins don't work in our new edge browser, for example google play ebooks plugin works in chrome browser but it will not load and install in this new edge browser, so its only somewhat compatible with googles chromes plugins.

if you can make a chrome store TTS to mp3 plugin work with the an epub reader then the voices below could in theory be used to make files of the ebooks maybe.

Neural voices – Powered by deep neural networks, these voices are the most natural sounding voices available today.

Microsoft Jessa Online (Natural) English (United States)
Microsoft Guy Online (Natural) English (United States)

also this plugin in new edge you can read google play books and use the TTS with them under new edge you can select these neural voices and use this plugin below seems to work to read the google play ebooks. below pluging has try before you buy option its not fully freeware, but it does seem to work when using the Jessa voice below with google's epub ebooks from there website, in the website view of the ebooks the below plugin seems to work with the read aloud software in the new edge, thats also something that says you should be able to get an TTS to MP4 plugin working with either plugins ebooks readers I would think maybe if someone created some plugins to do the work of converting TTS to MP3 in a chrome plugin if thats something you want to even try to do.
