You may have a broken SAPI4 engine, which will prevent SAPI4 working across the system. This can be fixed by removing the broken SAPI4 engine reference from the registry, or fixing the engine by re-installing. Reinstalling the SAPI4 runtime won't help.
Instructions on removing the entries for the broken SAPI4 engines are here (see Cure 1) http://help.clarodownloads.com/problemsWithClaroReadStarting.htm This page has utilities you can use, including the SAPI4 runtime installer SPCHAPI.EXE: http://help.clarodownloads.com/downloads.htm This program can identify which voices or engines, if any, are working: http://help.clarodownloads.com/SAPI4Test.exe Best wishes, Alasdair King WebbIE http://www.webbie.org.uk On Sun, Aug 10, 2008 at 5:45 AM, Jacob Kruger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Have now also tried running the system file checker (sfc.exe), as well as > reinstalling SP3, and no luck. > > Stay well > > Jacob Kruger > Blind Biker > Skype: BlindZA > '...Fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' > > ----- Original Message ----- > From: "Jacob Kruger" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> > To: <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> > Sent: 09 August, 2008 11:39 AM > Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] MSSAPI 4.0 > > >> Ok. >> >> After doing another google search for: >> download MS "sapi 4" >> >> I found this page on the dolphin knowledge base: >> http://download.microsoft.com/download/speechSDK/Install/4.0a/WIN98/EN-US/SAPI4SDK.exe >> >> and there they have a link to download the sapi 4 SDK: >> http://download.microsoft.com/download/speechSDK/Install/4.0a/WIN98/EN-US/SAPI4SDK.exe >> >> Now the speech in that IFDB game interpreter is working, but still getting >> the errors in the settings|control panel|speech dialogue, so something >> caused an issue (will check out event log and see if can fix it), but have >> at least found something that seems to work for part of it now. >> >> Stay well >> >> Jacob Kruger >> Blind Biker >> Skype: BlindZA >> '...Fate had broken his body, but not his spirit...' >> >> ----- Original Message ----- >> From: "Rick Justice" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> >> To: "blind-computing" <blind-computing@jaws-users.com> >> Sent: 09 August, 2008 8:33 AM >> Subject: Re: [Blind-Computing] MSSAPI 4.0 >> >> >>> Hi Jacob, >>> Give this a try: >>> http://www.blind-computing.com/downloads/msttsl.exe >>> This is version 4.0 of the speech engine. >>> HTH, >>> Richard Q.
