Hi Jimmy,
Unfortunately, when Microsoft released Sapi 5.3 which ships with Windows
Vista the also officially dropped support for Microsoft Sam, Mary, and
Mike on the Vista platform. The only voice that Microsoft officially now
supports on Vista is Microsoft Anna. However, you can still purchase
other Sapi 5.3 compatible voices such as the Scansoft voices that ships
with Openbook 8 and Jaws 9, or purchase some of the voices from Cepstral.
If you absolutely must have Microsoft Sam, Mary, and mike I have heard
there is a way to get them working under Vista, but there is a real risk
of damaging your Sapi 5 speech system in the process. So what I am about
to suggest might work for you and it might not. You do it soully at your
own risk.
In short, if you want to support the older Sapi voices like microsoft
Sam Vista needs to be downgraded back to Microsoft Sapi 5.1. Since
Vista's speech recognition and other Speech services were not developed
with 5.1 in mind doing so can seriously break things and crash speech
services. However, you can download
(SpeechSDK51MSM.exe).
which contains all of the Microsoft Sapi voices available for Windows XP
from
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5e86ec97-40a7-453f-b0ee-6583171b4530&displaylang=en
and install it. Like I said it might work, and it might just explode in
your face. I haven't quite had the guts to try it myself.
Cheers.
