Hi!
I still have an old com port Dectalk but my old larger version died I
believe from a power-outage lightening thing.
My Sea Battle game comes with a SAPI Class file where you can translate
into both Sapi 5 and Sapi 4, which has a voice adjustment procedure call in
the control panel .vbs file, which of course is SeaBatlle.vbs for those who
are interested and have programming knowledge.
The voice adjustment procedure inside the game is of course for both
Windoweyes and Sapi adjustments.
Since the Sapi .vbs file is text it can be read easily. It also has
voice recording control or text to speech conversion methods in it as well.
As does my Cuckoo Clock app does and uses as well.
Information for those who like Sapi voices. A French person was actually
still using Sapi 4 and there is only one change to make to do it, changing 5
to 4 in procedure calls...
