I had an idea for more voices for the jaws screen reader. Jaws only
supports sapi5 voices. So I was wondering if there are any developers on
here or maybe even if freedom scientific could make a free sapiBridge
utility? First you would install the utility, it would install the sapi4
components if needed and one free voice maybe truVoice sapi4 or the
older microsoft sapi4 voices. You go into a utility with a multi page
dialog box each tab lets you assign sapi5 voices bridge1 through 10. you
pick your sapi4 voice in the combo boxes there would be a button to let
you quickly access the sapi4 speech control panel some sapi4 voices let
you change other parameters with this control panel. so you pick your
sapi4 voices you want to assign to sapi5. hit save. restart computer if
needed. then when you load jaws which only sees sapi5 voices it would
let you use sapi4 voices as if they were sapi5. Note if someone would
make sapi bridge please make it so the bridge would also work outside of
jaws like in the late jim kitchen's games and other applications. with
sapi bridge any older sapi4 voice could become a sapi5 voice. also the
bridge would monitor for crashes try to reload the voice if it crashes
if it can't it plays a sound. I would love to use truVoice or the old
FlexTalk with jaws and jim's games and other audio games but I cannot
because they only support sapi5, so we need a sapi bridge for more voice
choices.
