Speech Technology / No Speech in Windows XP - none at all

« on: November 13, 2005, 02:21:02 pm »

from the Zabaware home page:

"The Ultra Hal Text-to-Speech reader is compatible with the AOL, AIM, ICQ, and MSN Messenger clients."

Everything else seems to be working now, but no speech with AIM.

Okay, I got the program talking by installing SAPI4 engine from Microsoft.  Now, the voice works for everyting EXCEPT AOL Instant Messenger.

Any tips on making it work with AIM?

Thanks...

Speech Technology / No Speech in Windows XP - none at all

« on: November 12, 2005, 11:46:40 pm »

I tried installing Ultra Hal Text-to-Speech Reader in my XP machine.  I don't get any speech at all.  I really want to use this program for AOL Instant Messenger, but nothing happens.  It won't even talk when I type text directly into the program window.

When I go to the control panel under the "speech" icon I do not see anything installed except the standard Windows Sam voice.

I have tried uninstalling and re-installing the software twice.

An suggestions?
