Thanks for the link. I uninstalled the full SAPI4SDK suite and then installed SAPI 5 SDK. The control panel shows that it is installed. However when I tried to import the activex component in Delphi 7 it was not possible. The texttospeech dll is not there for me to import. Would anyone have any clue what is going on. I had downloaded the SAPI 5.1 SDK from Microsoft.
