Hi Allan,
Interesting. Espeak uses the Sapi 5 API for voice output on Windows so
I don't know why it would work when other Sapi compliant voices
wouldn't with games.
As far as ESpeak voice quality goes that is a matter of preference.
Yes, I'll agree it is very robotic, but I use it every day with NVDA
on Windos and with Orca on Linux and I find it more responsive and
better than Eloquence in many cases.

Hi Charles,
A while back I had lost sappi due to an inconvenient power outage. I
ended
up useing something called eSpeak. Maybe that will help you? It had come
with voices, but they were pretty bad, still it is better then nothing.
I am sorry I haven't used it since then a few years ago, but I am sure an
internet will find it. Specifically I know it did well with entombed, but
I
am not sure about the rest.

I have no SAPI speech on my desktop PC. Even Microsoft Sam, which I
detest, does not operate. I am using Windows Home edition of XP with
service pack 3 installed. In order to run Jim Kitchen's games, among
others, SAPI is necessary. The program on Jim's site, which I know I
will
misspell, de loser lex, made no change. There is another file I could
get
from his site, although it says that it is for Windows 98, 2000, and M E,
so
I haven't tried it yet. I've thought of doing a repair of Windows, but
cannot find my Windows CD if needed. Is there a TTS engine that I can
download and install that might fix this annoyance? Thanks in advance.
