Hi Alfredo, Well, the primary reason I don't use Sapi 5 instead of prerecorded voices is because Microsoft Sapi is not Mac OS or Linux compatible. Linux and Mac OS have totally differen speech APIs of their own which is very different in design from Sapi. I've been trying for quite some time now to limit the amount of Windows specific APIs in the G3D engine, and if you look at the MOTA beta 19 road map you will see I've just about removed everything with Microsoft's name on it.
For instance, as of the current unstable build I have replaced DirectInput with SDL input, I have completely removed the Win32 API and replaced it with SDL main, I have removed Microsoft Winsock and have replaced it with SDL net, and DirectSound is currently being replaced by FMOD Ex. The end result of all this updating, upgrading, etc is in the very very near future I should have cross-platform compatible versions of MOTA with the same features and ability as the Windows release. Since the new G3D engine will be based largely on open source APIs, rather than proprietary APIs like Sapi 5, I can simply change a few path variables etc and recompile the engine and the game for alternative platforms.
