Your wrapper needs to have the MS speech SDK installed. In the Winetricks dialog, search for "speechsdk" and choose the only result from the DLLs category. Install that (You'll need sighted help) and you should have speech. There's no way to change the voice right now, but I've asked the game's developer if he can add a way for Swamp to allow users to pick the voice. If he adds that feature, you could install any Sapi voice you wanted by setting that voice's installer as the target .exe file, then change the target back to swamp.exe once finished. In theory, you would have installed another voice and so could choose that one, again only if Swamp includes the feature in an upgrade. > On Nov 30, 2014, at 8:01 AM, Joshua Tubbs <[email protected]> wrote: > > How do I get Sapi working with this?
