Re: [Audyssey] Sarah game delayed by winter vacations
Hi, yeah, the Scansoft voices that ship with JFW 8, and can be purchased as a stand alone product for Window Eyes is very good. I recently obtained them myself. Anna is an improvement, but nothing compared to Scansoft or Neospeech.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah game delayed by winter vacations
same here. The pro voices are something you have to buy. At one point it cost double to buy anything us with nz cash. So a 30 dollar game would be double. Its less now but still a load.

Hi Damien, Well, Windows Vista comes with a better voice, Anna. And JFW 8 comes with 8 SAPI voices.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah game delayed by winter vacations
Hi Nicol, I still have SAPI read the tarot cards since it would require Sarah to read almost 100 more things and would make the game much larger. I have the Kate voice read the cards since she is on my system but the game will read the cards by what ever voices you already have, Kate is not included with the game! You hit v to choose your preferred voice but this will only be necessary in the Divination classroom. When Sarah first tries out the tarot deck, she gets some magical energy from the cards. When Sarah reads the books in the library it is not her voice but the voice of the book that speaks. So when she gets to the book that screams, it is the book itself screaming not Sarah. Harry does something like this in the first Harry Potter book. Some books have clues to puzzles in the game while others give her additional magical power to cast spells. I was originally going to withhold some spells until she read the book but changed my mind and gave her all the spells in the demo level. After all, she is a graduate of the Salem school so she should have some knowledge of the spells. Both the tarot feature and the library are available only to registered owners of the game, and are not in the demo level.

Re: [Audyssey] Sarah game delayed by winter vacations
Hay phil I remember when you posted that mp3 file,the sneek preview that there was a deck of cards that sarah picked up. And that when you press x kate reads each card's description. But the new game will have sarah's voice instead of the synthesized voice. Have you included the deck of cards in the new version? But does the deck of cards aid you in your quest? I'm just very puzzled how the library books are going to work. In the manual you said that there's some spells you have to find its meaning in the library. I would just like you to explain something to me. If this is going to be a spoiler when you explain this, then I'll rather wait to try out the demo, but if this will not result in a spoiler, please satisfy my curiosity? You said that when sarah reads some of the books in the library, she will scream out of horror. Now this is what's puzzling me. Say for instance the book that's causing her to scream is very interesting. Ok, I'm walking into the library, I find this book. Now the moment I press x for examine sarah reads the book and starts screaming. How is this going to work? If sarah is the main narrating voice how would it be possible for her to read a book and scream at the same time? Will it be 2 sarah voices one reading and once screaming|? Sayh for instance she starts reading this book and it sounds interesting to me. But now she is screaming at the same time. Will it be possible to still clearly hear each word as she is reading from the book while she is screaming? Won't her screaming overwhelm the voice reading the book? Won't the screaming all the time make it impossible for me to hear the book's reading? -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Phil Vlasak Sent: Saturday, January 27, 2007 6:48 PM To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: [Audyssey] Sarah game delayed by winter vacations Latest PCS Games News, Both GMA and Draconis Entertainment are on vacation until February.
