Hi Brient,
Well, since that would be illegal I can't really tell you to do that.
I was merely explaining that since the Scansoft Sapi compatible voices
aren't really being sold any more there is no legal way to obtain them
that I am personally aware of. All of the versions on the net I've
seen of late are specialized versions for your GPS, restricted to a
Nextup product like Text Aloud, or something like the Real Speak
Direct versions locked to Jaws. I haven't seen any generic Sapi 5
versions being sold any more. If people really want them bad enough
they have to turn to less than legal means to get them.
If you want my personal feelings/opinion on the matter I say forget
them. If Nuance, AKA Scansoft, don't want our business take it
elsewhere and buy yourself some legal voices from Cereproc, Cepstral,
Ivona, etc. The Scansoft Real Speak voices aren't worth pirating when
there are plenty of legal alternatives just as good. I'm just lucky I
got my Scansoft voices when they were still being sold as a generic
Sapi 5 stand alone product before Nuance decided to become jurks about
the whole thing.
Cheers!
