Hi Ben, No, sorry it is not. If they purchased an upgrade to Jaws 9 or Openbook 8 or something like that they probably got it as a part of their upgrade from Freedom Scientific. They may have thought it was free, but those voices are commercial voices and I’m not even sure the SAPI 5 versions are

yeah, I had it when testing a system and also on mine. it involved at the time switching and merging another working sapi registry from another system and never worked well since. I eventually reformatted the system after I got enough stuff to justify it, and I had some downtime for a controled

Hi Thomas, I tend to disagree with you. You know when you said SAPI tends to break quite a lot in my experience. I have not found that to be the case. I mean I have been producing games that rely on the sapi5 voices for 7 years now and have only had a few people need to even use the

Hi John, Well, I'm glad I was able to help. The JNA is a fairly recent Java development that allows you to quickly wrap static Windows libraries, and use them in a Java application. Obviously, the advantages are huge here as it allows you to extend your application beyond the Java JRE and use
