Hi folks. I find this program very interesting. now, my question is, the clock can be used with sapi4 and sapi 5 voices? or only with sapi5 voices. if I have sapi4 voices installed in my machine, but I don't have sapi5 voices, the talking clock will only detect the microsoft Sam voice? (of course in my case, because I use Windows XP) Best wishes, Andres from Colombia in south america
