Hi James, USA Games will be using wav recorded samples of the speech output so weather or not the voice has Sapi 5 support or not shouldn't matter. The reason I startd the thread with the Sapi heading is it does make it easier on me if I can just put the words in Text Aloud and save them as wav files. Though, there are utilities out there for Linux that will do the same thing for Dectalk if I need them to.
