[Audyssey] 7-128 Software uses SAPI Voices in their games.
7-128 Software now uses SAPI Voices in their games. 7-128 Software games that are BL rated have always self-voiced as well as worked with JAWS. But our voice was, well... not shall we say very "elequant". We've changed that. Now all of our games that are accessible to gamers who are blind can use the Speech Application Programming Interface (SAPI) voice or voices you already have installed in your Windows computer. * Our new SAPI capability is in all of our Inspector Cyndi in Newport games. * It's in 3 very different Tyler memory games: Kim's Game, Snowflake, and Orchestra. * It's in3 Woople word games: Definitions, Synonyms and Antonyms, and Scrambled Sayings. * And it's in all of our Pizza Games for children. * And, of course, in our GameBook and PizzaBox. Furthermore, when you install any GameBook game purchased after 1 August, 2010, your GameBook and all of your previously purchased GameBook games are automatically upgraded to SAPI, totally FREE! Similarly, when you install any new Pizza game purchased after 1 August, 2010, your PizzaBox and all of your previously purchased Pizza games are automatically upgraded to SAPI, again, totally FREE. http://www.7128.com/more/more-sapi.html --- Gamers mailing list __ Gamers@audyssey.org If you want to leave the list, send E-mail to gamers-unsubscr...@audyssey.org.

Thank you so much for your kind words Dark, Phil and Thomas! Our programmer is taking a week off - it was a challenge to get SAPI in place and to have it update the GameBook as well! But you can now use your favorite SAPI voice instead of Kevin. If anyone gets the credit for it - it is Dark who made the comments that finally convinced marketing to agree that we should temporarily drop new development and retrofit SAPI to our existing games. Anyhow we hope that everyone can use their favorite SAPI voice now and not have to depend on the shark!

We used it because when we started to develop our games, we couldn't afford to buy the rights to use a better voice. Also we were learning the technology that goes with self-voicing. When we changed to SAPI, we also smoothed and improved the interface and hope that you will find our games much better than before.

Hi Phil, Thanks for the news. That rocks. I happen to like the 7128 games and it is very cool they are now Sapi 5 compatible. Cheers!

Obviously I have an undiscovered tallent for strategical complaining, ;D. Seriously, i'm actually very pleased about this developement, sinse the voice really wasn't great in terms of gaming, especially considdering that so many 7-128 games depend upon the correct hereing of words, or understanding of text and comments, all of which will be much improved by using any sapi voice, and especially by serious gamers who will probably have good voices anyway as discussed earlier.

what kind of voice was kevin and was that sapi at all? On Aug 8, 2010, at 10:07 AM, Eleanor wrote: > Thank you so much for your kind words Dark, Phil and Thomas!
