Re: AT&T Natural Voices ... and Visual Studio.net

Hi Stuart,

Have you checked out the Microsoft speech API 5.0 as this allows your
software to speak without Merlin etc.

I have this working via Borland C++ Builder 4.0 using only the API
calls.
Very easy. If you need some code then let me know as it does not use
any
Borland calls to work and should work under (Not)Visual C++ 6. Sorry but
I
don't find anything visual about it :o)
