Re: SAPI: Microsoft Speech API

José,

Thank you very much for the new examples you are posting there.

I have a question about the Speech API, do you know if we could use another diphtong dictionary matching a national language (stange to hear french words with the US/English accent  )

Added:
Also where can we find a list of the voices available?
Oops:
Didn't see that you posted it already, thank you

There is an SpeechSDK51LangPack.exe file here: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5e86ec97-40a7-453f-b0ee-6583171b4530&displaylang=en , although I don't know what it contains.

BTW I often post examples to make them available to myself when I no longer remember how something is done. Changing the voice is a question often asked, and it is not an easy task because, surprisingly, there is not any property or method to do it. I have made it as easy as SpSetVoice(pISpVoice, "Microsoft Mary"), but to achieve it I have needed to write several wrapper functions that you can find in the sapiutils.inc file that I have posted today as an update of the WINAPI files.

Ok, thank you, i am downloading the latest WINAPI files with the new SAPIUTILS.INC

Patrice,

   To make Vista speak french, the best I've heard is Virginie.
Search for RSSolo4French.zip on the net.
It's a high quality product and best of all it's free.

One place you can download it from is...

Happy listening with Virginie.
