Could I have sapi Daniel? -----Original Message----- From: gamers-boun...@audyssey.org [mailto:gamers-boun...@audyssey.org] On Behalf Of dark Sent: 20 June 2010 15:30 To: Gamers Discussion list Subject: Re: [Audyssey] SAPI and VB Script
I must confess, while I have had the odd issue with sapi, mostly installing the delusalex file sorts things out. In fact the only major problem I've had was the one requiring the dll fix you provided Tom. Generally I'm extremely pleased with sapi, and indeed rely on it for several games including all of the gma titles, vip mud, jims games etc, ---- pluss with realspeak daniel as my default sapi voice I have a pretty good voice for the games too.
