The files are probably in C:\Windows\System32\Speech, but I've no idea
really.
The new extractor version wasn't meant to fix your problem BTW. ;-)

Just dropped the new dlls in right now and still getting crashes. Gonna try
looking through my Windows install now.

Thanks tom, really appreciate it. I'll go looking for those files, though
might you have any idea which folder they would be located in within the cd
directory? I'm assuming it would be in the root directory of windows though.

Someone once said they fixed the problem by copying some SAPI-related DLLs
off their Windows install CD. They disappeared without telling anyone what
those files were, unfortunately.
The SAPI extractor is crumbling away because Valve don't use it. They have
a different extractor built with phoneme middleware that they don't - I
assume - have a distribution license for.
I went back to the extractor just now to make sure it still works and
found a bug in the error message that appears when extraction totally fails.
Somehow I'd cocked up the process of launching the control panel app. Fix

Not really sure if this falls under mapping or not, so I threw it in the
coders list. My current problem is extracting phenom extraction. I'm
currently using Tom Edwards "fixed" phonemeextractor.dll. For reasons I
can't seem to understand is during the extraction (after putting in the
sentence for the audio file and clicking ok) faceposer just plain
crashes.
I've found it works for other people and sometimes it doesn't, though I
seem
to be the in the rare group of people that faceposer just plain crashes
on
during the extraction.
I was following a tutorial earlier that dates back to around 2008.The
tutorial has directed me to go and download the SpeechSDK and install
that.
Upon further investigation I've found that under Windows 7 you don't even
need that, and just the fixed dll. After reading some more I've come to
another fork in the road. It seems the only way to get this shit all
fixed
up again is to reinstall windows, something I am totally not going to do
if
this still doesn't end working. Honestly I shouldn't have to reinstall my
operating system anyways. Thats a severe punishment for this going south.
My
question is whether or not installing the SpeechSDk is the reason
Faceposer
is crashing at extraction.
To clarify I've went and uninstalled the SpeechSDK before putting in the
fixed phonemeextractor.dll.
Aside all of this madness; whats going on anyways!? I wouldn't have
expected
getting faceposer to work would be all this trouble under 2009 on future
operating systems that almost everyone has entirely migrated too. I'm
assuming Valve is at least using some Windows 7 and Vista machines up
there,
unless they are seriously using XP to use a "working" faceposer. The fact
we
need to use a custom modified dll to get all this working again is pretty
bad. Faceposer should "just work" out of the box, and not require any
users
to go searching around for things. Yeah, yeah I know, not in valves
current
needs to do (too busy, yadda yadda) but that shit is starting to get real
tiring. I'd like for once to actually be able to use a single Source
Engine
tool that isn't made by someone outside of Valve and works/does not
require
workarounds.
