Re: [Audyssey] Help with TTS.
Hi Josh, Don't forget about Cereproc. They sell voices for Windows 7 as well, and they aren't bad. Although, Cepstral or Ivona would be my personal choice for a place to purchase voices from. In addition the AT&T voices can be purchased from Nextup for a fair price as well, and those work with Windows 7 32-bit just fine. They just haven't been updated for Windows 7 64-bit, and I'm not sure AT&T is going to.

Re: [Audyssey] Help with TTS.
Hi Michael, Well, if you are looking for free voices for Windows 7 there aren't a whole lot to choose from. Basically, you are limited to Espeak from http://www.espeak.sourceforge.net which is fairly robotic sounding, but is fast and responsive as a synthesizer as you are going to find. However, if you are willing to spend a little cash for a decent voice there are a lot of choices out there. First, there are the Cepstral voices from http://www.cepstral.com which are fairly decent for games as well as screen readers. There is the Ivona TTS voices from http://www.ivona.com which are a bit expensive, but are among the best sounding voices I have ever used. There are the Cereproc voices from http://www.cereproc.com which aren't too bad. These aren't my favorite, but are worth checking out. Bottom line, in my opinion unless you are willing to pay $30 or so for a high quality voice you aren't going to find any better than Anna for free for Windows 7. Windows 8 has some better SAPI voices, but that's going to cost you more than just buying some third-party voices from the sites listed above. Cheers!

Re: [Audyssey] tts uninstallation help needed for windows 7 64 bit
Hi Shaun, I'm afraid not. Microsoft's support for Mike, Mary, and Sam officially ended with SAPI 5.1 which was for Windows 2000 and XP. Since XP is about to be dropped in 2014 I'd also assume all related components such as SAPI 5.1 will also be dropped. Windows Vista comes with SAPI 5.3, Windows 7 SAPI 5.4, and Windows 8 SAPI 5.5. Personally speaking, I am sort of glad Microsoft abandoned those voices, because the new SAPI 5.5 voices that come with Windows 8 and the Windows 8.1 beta are far superior in quality and anyone who is looking for free SAPI voices that are fairly decent should upgrade to Windows 8 or 8.1 when it comes out. As far as using the SAPI 4 version those voices actually sounded better than the SAPI 5.1 versions did, but no games I know of use them. The Kitchen's Inc. games use SAPI 5 not SAPI 4, and besides which SAPI 4 has been deprecated a long time. Its a Windows 98 technology for heaven's sake. Cheers!

[Audyssey] for jim kitchen-question about .cfg files
Hi Jim; I need to manually go into the .cfg files for the games to mod the sapi voice number so the voices work properly. For the most part it works fine, but I can't find the .cfg file for trucker at all. Can you inlighten me as to where the sapi and score info is stored for trucker?
