just a spontaneus idea: propably the xtra checks the SAPI version with a registry call when getting initialised. you could examine its registry calls with a tool like regmon (http://www.sysinternals.com/), and then try to fool the xtra by changing one or several registry entries (regXtra, buddi api) before initializing the speechXtra (and then immedialtely resetting those keys to their original state)
