If you installed the AT&T voices after you installed Hal be sure to run the "Haptek SAPI Config" under "Haptek" in your start menu. This will make sure the 3d engine sees all the new voices and is able to lip sync with them. Version 1.4 or later of the AT&T voices is required for lip sync as the previous versions did not have this capability. Also the AT&T voices have both a SAPI 4.0 and 5.0 interface, which both are listed in Hal's options. Only the 5.0 interface has lip sync capability.

Ah, thanks for that, Robert. Now sorted. I'd completely forgotten about the Haptek Config for SAPI. Doh!

atfritz: You can just buy the AT&T Natural Voices on their own from Nextup.com. That's what I did, anyway.

Just go to:

..and click one of the 'Buy Now' flashes.

AT&T Natural Voices lip sync fine with hal5. Your money will not be wasted. I've had no problems.

Phil,

Could you confirm whether you're getting lipsych with the Haptek characters and AT&T Natural Voices?

I ask because I recently purchased the Natural Voices 16KHz CDs and cannot get any Haptek characters to lipsynch in HAL using these voices.

If you are getting lipsynching, did you need to do anything in particular to get it to work at all?

(I have the Crystal and Audrey voices installed, but use Audrey for most things. If that makes any difference)

Thanks,


Mark
