Text to speech?

[markd]

I'm not having much luck locating the MS SAPI files for text to speech- can anyone help?

Also, I have multiple sound cards in my system- is there any way to direct the speech to a particular set of outputs?

thanks

Yes! Thanks! MS website is full of broken links.

Scott, any input on how to direct to a particular sound card output?

SAPI seems to support that, but it's not implemented in the plugin. Right now it just outputs to the default audio device.

Would it be hard to change it?

I'm going to try using this-

but there seem to be some restrictions, not sure it will work.

Probably not, but I can't say for sure. I'll take a look at it soon and let you know.

I was wondering about something like this as well. I'd like to be able to output speech/voice to one sound card and music, via HB/winamp, to another (probably the default). The goal I have is to establish a management channel with strategically located speakers, separate from home entertainment (where volumes get adjusted, amps turned off, etc).

Bryan,

I have an experimental version that markd is testing now. If you want to play with it, just let me know.
