Mentioning sapi 4, it's pronunciation is quite off. A couple
notable things: On is pronounced in, off is pronounced of. Also,
if I remember rightly, it was much less fluid than sapi 5. I can
confirm as well, that (at least the sapi four installation that
comes with the APH products) does not work on windows seven.

Hi,
Unfortunately, I don't know any more than I've already said. Yes,
there was a SAPI 4 compatible version of Eloquence available, but
I'm
not sure if it is still being sold/licensed. Last I heard
Kurzweil
3000 still ships withe the generic SAPI 4 version of Eloquence,
but it
has been sometime since I have actually checked out that
software.
What I do know for sure is that the company that owns
Eloquence---I
want to say it is Speech Works---has changed the license
agreement for
newer versions of Eloquence which prohibit version 6 of being
used
with any application not specifically licensed for the product.
Most
accessible applications such as Jaws, Window-Eyes, Openbook, all
have
specific licenses with Speech Works to support and use Eloquence.
So I
don't know where Speech Works stands on the older generic SAPI 4
version that came with IBM Viavoice etc. My guess is if you have
it
you can use it, but keep in mind its a 32-bit app and uses SAPI
4, not
SAPI 5, so usage on Windos 7 and beyond might be problematic. I
haven't tried it myself so am not too clear on backwards
compatibility
with SAPI 4 on Windows 7.
Cheers!

Hi Thomas,
I have a question about this.
I thought it was legally possible to buy a SAPI 5 version of
Eloquence
instead of only having boundled versions like JAWS or other
programs?
And what about ViaVoice TTS from IBM, which is essentially the
same than
Eloquence, at least concerning the voices themselves...
Do you know any more about this messed up business?
