Hi Thomas,
I found that with the sapi5 voices if they do not know a word they will spell
it. But most of the time if you capitalize the first letter they will
pronounce the word.
I do also often have to misspell words. Some times just simple things like I
always spell it reed rather than re

Hi Tom.
Well while I've been fully aware you've been working on the engine, it has
been a litle unclear from your release notes how much of a given beta was
testing the engine, and how much the game.
i was quite aware that many early betas up to about 12 or 15 were
essentially engine tests,
Funnily enough, I much prefer british synths, which is why I have scansoft

A lot is personal preference though. Obviously, I'm less of a fan of
American synths, not the least because my gramma and method of writing
always sound ext
Hello Dark.
Hal support should be working now, just run the updater. Let me know
if you have any issues.
As for SAPI, if you'd rather use that, you need to add a plugin called
tts_sapi.xml. If you want sapi to interrupt, just press the escape
key.
Good luck

Hi Oriol.
I'll try the Hal support now.
As regards sapi, I added the tts xml plugin on both my desktop and laptop.
The thing that is confusing however, is that while sapi speaks on both, the
interupt key doesn't work on my laptop at all, neither did any of the
commands to try and set one up,

Hi Angela.
I wonder if this is the visual basic problem which many people have found
trying to play old games while running vista and windows 7.
There are several components (noteably the visual basic runtime libraries),
that shipped with xp, but not with vista or 7.
No need to worry though.
Hello Angela,
That error is caused by a missing Visual Basic 6 activex component or
library. I'm, not sure if you are are aware of this about the time
Vista was released microsoft dropped support for Visual Basic 6 so
Vista and Windows 7 do not come with the required components for games

Hi Jim,
Oh, yeah. i've seen that problem. The neospeech voices in particular
are bad about spelling words they don't know. That makes them pretty
hard to use with a screen reader like NVDA as when you begin working
on a line of code they will start spelling function names rather than
saying them.
Hi Dark,
Well, I'm actually working on a three month release schedule right

You don't actually have to install the WinKit game if you don't want to,
though I hope you do since it is a good game.
However, there is WinLife3 which is just as good, also made by Jim Kitchen.
There are, in actual fact, two components you need to install.

Hi Tom.
I must admit that's another reason I use Orphius with the British English

For instance, where as Daniel has so
Hi Tom.
Fair enough, and it's good to know the windows engine is indeed done.

Well, yeah, there are a number of sounds in Mysteries of the Ancients
