Hi Michael, Yeah, I know what you mean. I don't really get it myself, but apparently Acapela has their reasons. Those may not be good reasons, but apparently they think they can profit by doing it the way they do. Either that or there is some specific reason why they have specifically targeted Mac

Hi Thomas, You are probably right... But it doesn't mean that I have to like it. And while it is not really game relevant in a direct manner, it should be mentioned somewhere, since we had talks about what platforms game developers should or should not support in the near future. And what I don'

Hi Josh, Yes, they most certainly are. They obviously cost a bit more than say the Cepstral voices, but the Ivona 32-bit and 64-bit voices are completely SAPI compliant, and will work with screen readers, games, as well as other text to speech applications like TextAloud and WeatherAloud. Better y

That's exactly, what I don't like about this. I know that nextup.com sell SAPI and non SAPI voices... However, regardless of which Windows you have, it is impossible for end users to buy Acapela voices individually for SAPI. You can buy Infovox 4 on USB stick but that is usually limited to five

Hello Dave, Part of the problem is when you access the Sapi speech configuration from the Windows 7 Control Panel is its using the 64-bit voices configuration. You need to bring up the older 32-bit configuration by entering this command into the run dialog C:\Windows\SysWOW64\Speech\SpeechUX\sapi.
