Re: [Audyssey] sappy5 in vista?

2008-10-26 Thread May and Wynter
If you have the later versions of jaws that come with the real speak voices, 
then Mike Mary and Sam are in there and they work fine with Vista.  Along 
with other voices.


Or if you know someone that has the realspeak voices cd just install them 
and you'll have them as well if they let you borrow it.

Hi Jimmy,
Unfortunately, when Microsoft released Sapi 5.3 which ships with Windows 
Vista the also officially dropped support for Microsoft Sam, Mary, and 
Mike on the Vista platform. The only voice that Microsoft officially now 
supports on Vista is Microsoft Anna. However, you can still purchase other 
Sapi 5.3 compatible voices such as the Scansoft voices that ships with 
Openbook 8 and Jaws 9, or purchase some of the voices from Cepstral.
If you absolutely must have Microsoft Sam, Mary, and mike I have heard 
there is a way to get them working under Vista, but there is a real risk 
of damaging your Sapi 5 speech system in the process. So what I am about 
to suggest might work for you and it might not. You do it soully at your 
own risk.
In short, if you want to support the older Sapi voices like microsoft Sam 
Vista needs to be downgraded back to Microsoft Sapi 5.1. Since Vista's 
speech recognition and other Speech services were not developed with 5.1 
in mind doing so can seriously break things and crash speech services. 
However, you can download

(SpeechSDK51MSM.exe).
which contains all of the Microsoft Sapi voices available for Windows XP 
from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5e86ec97-40a7-453f-b0ee-6583171b4530displaylang=en
and install it. Like I said it might work, and it might just explode in 
your face. I haven't quite had the guts to try it myself.

Cheers.

Hi May,
Thanks for this information. I wasn't aware Freedom Scientific made a 
special installation for the older Sapi 5.x voices for 2000/XP/Vista. That 
is good to know.
I've recently updated to Openbook 8.0, and I'll see if the Realspeak disk 
has the Sapi 5.x voices on it. It should if Openbook 8 is shipping with 
the same version  of the voices as the newest versions of JFW.

Yeah, the Nintendo 64 was awesome. Still wish I had mine. I liked Donkey

cool. Oh, and can't forget about Castlevania 64. Always great to play 
during halloween time.

 Hi,
 You are receiving this email because you have previously requested a

 You can read all about the new game by visiting the blind gamers page

 BG Chess Challenge runs in three different modes: Blind accessible,
 Vision

 acuity.
 It is also suitable for beginners as well as experienced chess players. 
 A
 separate Word document explains how to play chess, if you have never
 played before or need to brush up on the rules and you can set the
 computer player's skill level anywhere between Novice and Expert, so 
 that
 you can be ensured of a challenging game regardless of your own skill
 level. In blind mode, graphics are still provided so that sighted 
 spouses
 can play along with their blind partners. As with all Spoonbill
 Software's
 accessible games, it is completely self voicing. You will only need 
 your
 screen reader to read the on-line help, or the separate How To Play 
 Chess
 document.

 BG Chess Challenge is the fourteenth game in the Blind Gamers series of
 accessible games and is free for the asking. Just reply to this email
 requesting BG Chess Challenge and stating your full name and country of
