Re: [Audyssey] Sapi voices for games
Hi Lindsay, To be perfectly honest there aren't any free Sapi voices that sound very good. There are plenty of free voices such as ESpeak, the Microsoft Sapi voices, etc but they are very low quality speech wise. However, if you are willing to pay around $30 USD you can get some pretty decent ssounding voices. The Cepstral voices at http://www.cepstral.com aren't bad and cost about $30 each. There are also many good voices at http://www.nextup.com which cost between $25 and $35 and are also ok. If you buy Text Alloud from Nextup you can get AT&T Crystal and Mike for an extra $25 which is a deal there. In addition if you purchase Openbook 8 or Jaws 9 or 10 you will get some of the Scansoft voices which aren't bad either. Lindsay Cowell wrote: Hi folks, I hate the sapi voices that come with vista.

Re: [Audyssey] Sapi voices for games
The sapi voices (or more acurately voice) that come with vista are, in actuality, quite good, and about the best your going to get for free. If you hate that voice, your not going to like anything else. Try using MS Sam or MS Mike and you'll know what I mean. contact details: email: tcwoo...@shaw.ca and others msn: the_conman...@hotmail.com skype: the_conman283 system details: Hp pavillion dv5220CA notebook pc AMD Turion(tm) 64 Mobile Technology ML-37 2.0 GHZ, 1024 mb DDR ram, Fujitsu 100 gb 4500 RPM Hard Drive, connecsant AC-link audio - Original Message - From: "Lindsay Cowell" To: Sent: Saturday, February 14, 2009 4:16 AM Subject: [Audyssey] Sapi voices for games Hi folks, I hate the sapi voices that come with vista.

Re: [Audyssey] Sapi voices for games
Hi Lindsay, Unfortunately free voices are very bad compared with the ones you buy. However $25 to $35 per voice should not be too much for most people. I buy my voices from NextUp. If you do have Jaws you should have gotten a CD of SAPI voices that were included in Jaws 8 or 9.
