To install sapi 5.1 I simply chose custom (then advanced custom) and deselected everything but the voice stuff.

Take it your doing it to get the better synthesized voices too?

lol, well I want to get Navivoice workin 1st, and it requires SAPI. Im remotley connectingto the PC and the cd is here, so I need to extract the files, was just curious if anyone knew how to get them w/o having to use the installer as well

Well if it's you don't want to use the office installer have a look for the SAPI 5.1 downloadable redistibutable, it's around somewhere on the MS site (though the links I originally downloaded were merge files, not installers

)

shar eyour CD drive and install from there

It installs SAPI6. Its the latest version of SAPI. You do NOT need to install the whole office to get SAPI installed. As far as I know, SAPI6 has better input, not output capabilities. But also I think you can switch voices in code and not just in the control panel.

How to find SAPI 6.1

I ran across these Voice Prompt Vocabularies ( http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en ) and I wonder if these can be used for voice prompts in Navivoice, and if they can, where do they go?

Are there any other voices that can be used, and where could i find them?

Thanks...

Download and see for yourself. I doubt that you'll find lots of vocab in 500 words

According to the page, it says "The Standard Vocabularies consist of 500+ number, date, navigation and error messages" and seeing that navivoice is a navigational type program, these just might come in handy....

I'm new to all of this voice stuff, are all speech files compatible with voice engines?

And which folder do these speech files go?

and again... thanks for the help and your work!

I don't think that you'll get voices for like "yes master", etc that are located throughout the INI.

Really, I don't know if its even gonna work. I don't know if it will show up in the speech control panel.
