Hi Damien,
True, but many of the Sapi voices are affordable by Brittish and 
American, and Canadian standards.
The Neospeech voices were something like $30 each which was good quality 
speech for very little cash.

Hi Nicol,

Your score on the Harry Potter trivia sounds pretty good.  I think that I 
scored somewhere around that on the one done by Alan.

Sorry, but I will not be adding clues to the words in the Hangman game.  The 
main reason is that there are over twelve thousand words.  It took me six 
months to create that word list.  Don't even want to think about how long it 
would take to write a clue for each of those twelve thousand words.

BFN

Hi, another suggestion for those who play jim's games is buy a Scansoft 
voice or two from nextup.com . they sound real good.

[Audyssey] jim's trivia and hangman

2007-05-08 Thread nicol
Hi
Just wanted to say that I got  68 percent for  the harry potter trivia by
jim and marcy and 62  percent for the  other harry potter trivia so my
understanding of  the books is reasonably good.I've got a suggestion for
your hangman game jim. Sometimes I come across a word which I don't know the
meaning of. Either I  can't make out the way sapi   pronounces the word or
it's a word I never heard of.  When  the  game gives the answer whether I
won or got hanged, I want to look up the word, so then I load jaws and I
open the word web program to look up the word, but that causes mayhem when
the hangman game is open. When I launch jaws and word web with the
control+alt system hot keys the game thinks I want to change the speed and
so it says the whole time: to change the rate use the arrow keys and then
press enter.
My suggestion  to you is: give an extra clue with each word.  Currently
with each word, the game tells me how many letters is in the word and if
it's a place, , person or thing. It would be really nice if an extra clue
can also be given, at least on the easyexperience  level.
I can't remember a word which I heard in the hangman game of which I didn't
know the meaning, but if there can be an   extra clue that describes the
word,  then it will also broaden my  general knowledge.
An example would be:
Your word is a place and has 7 letters; it's a place where a king stays.
Answer: palace.
Or if you think it will make it too easy, at least give clues with less
obvious words.
