Re: [Audyssey] sappy5 in vista?

2008-10-26 Thread Thomas Ward

Hi Jimmy,
Unfortunately, when Microsoft released Sapi 5.3 which ships with Windows 
Vista the also officially dropped support for Microsoft Sam, Mary, and 
Mike on the Vista platform. The only voice that Microsoft officially now 
supports on Vista is Microsoft Anna. However, you can still purchase 
other Sapi 5.3 compatible voices such as the Scansoft voices that ships 
with Openbook 8 and Jaws 9, or purchase some of the voices from Cepstral.
If you absolutely must have Microsoft Sam, Mary, and mike I have heard 
there is a way to get them working under Vista, but there is a real risk 
of damaging your Sapi 5 speech system in the process. So what I am about 
to suggest might work for you and it might not. You do it soully at your 
own risk.
In short, if you want to support the older Sapi voices like microsoft 
Sam Vista needs to be downgraded back to Microsoft Sapi 5.1. Since 
Vista's speech recognition and other Speech services were not developed 
with 5.1 in mind doing so can seriously break things and crash speech 
services. However, you can download

(SpeechSDK51MSM.exe).
which contains all of the Microsoft Sapi voices available for Windows XP 
from

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5e86ec97-40a7-453f-b0ee-6583171b4530displaylang=en
and install it. Like I said it might work, and it might just explode in 
your face. I haven't quite had the guts to try it myself.

Cheers.

If you have the later versions of jaws that come with the real speak voices, 
then Mike Mary and Sam are in there and they work fine with Vista.  Along 
with other voices.


Or if you know someone that has the realspeak voices cd just install them 
and you'll have them as well if they let you borrow it.

Hi May,
Thanks for this information. I wasn't aware Freedom Scientific made a 
special installation for the older Sapi 5.x voices for 2000/XP/Vista. 
That is good to know.
I've recently updated to Openbook 8.0, and I'll see if the Realspeak 
disk has the Sapi 5.x voices on it. It should if Openbook 8 is shipping 
with the same version  of the voices as the newest versions of JFW.
