Hey Tom, I don't know what to tell you. None of my sappi was working, I plugged that in, and it did. If I knew the how things worked, I would be a trillionaire by now, lol.

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.
