> Do I have to download the Speech SDK to get it?

Strangely enough things have changed since the last time I was there. I
don't see the same thing I downloaded years ago. It looks like what you want
is the Speech Application SDK 1.1 Beta (second listing on the Downloads
page).

OTOH, on this page: (one line)
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/dnsmart03/h
tml/sa03f1.asp

down near the bottom there's a link to: (again one line)
http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/c/c/5cc1e311-4711-4dbd-9529-28e3520
fba0b/TTS.EXE

That just might be the thing you're looking for.

I found this by searching for "Text-to-Speech" AND download (MS's search
isn't like the rest of the world's). The second result (Making Your
Applications Talk (Smart Access 2003) looked promising.

Things used to be a lot easier. More INetDegeneration.

OTOH, I just happen to have the Speech SDK 5.0 CD-ROM from the Feb. 2001
MSDN. Since they're givin' it away nowadays anyway, I suppose I can load it
in a drive and publish it. It's 142M and can be found at:

ftp://ftp.oswegosw.com/pub/SpeechSDK

My upstream speed is limited to 768KBPS so it'll take like a half hour or
something.

When I try and load the SpeakToMe.vee example in VEE 7.0, I get a caution saying "Could not load the following ActiveX reference: Microsoft Direct Text-To-Speech Version 1.0 Verify you have the required ActiveX component properly installed on this system." I don't see any references to Microsoft Direct Text-to-speech version 1.0 in the ActiveX control references. I went to the Microsoft site listed in the link <A HREF="http://msdn.microsoft.com/speech">http://msdn.microsoft.com/speech</A> and couldn't seem to find any direct references to Microsoft Direct Text-To-Speech Version 1.0 Do I have to download the Speech SDK to get it? If so do I need to download the whole package or a certain part of it. The whole thing is something like 300Meg and for some reason even with the T1 line here at work it was only downloading at 1KBPS (estimated time to download 84 hours!!!!). There was a option to download individual components of the SDK and that might reduce the download time. But which component(s) would I need? Oddly enough the text-to-speech and voice recognition work on my computer when I went into the Windows XP Professional control panel and set them up, but still nothing in VEE.--- You are currently subscribed to vrf as: rsb@soco.agilent.com To subscribe send a blank email to "join-vrf@it.lists.it.agilent.com".
