sapi voices? i hate mike, mary and sam. they suck. just wish you didn't have to pay for any of the other cooler ones. i can see your point though. it will make the game a lot smaller. just wish the proper ones weren't so big, weren't charged for, and would actually work without crashing the screenreader in the process of changing synthesisers. i think i'd make all my games self-voicing unless anyone had any objections.
