Hi,
I've installed the following files:
spchapi.exe
lhttsiti.exe
AgtX0410.exe

But in speech control panel it is listed only Microsoft Sam :(

Have I to install additional components?

Thank you,
cdr

Thanks but the problem is that the italian TTS Engines for SAPI4 I've
installed (lhttsiti.exe) doesn't show up in the speech control panel.
Any help?

Thanks chrispra :)
But I've an application (PhoneTray) that shows exactly the voices
listed in the SAPI5 control panel so I don't think installing SAPI4
control panel solves the problem.
And a SAPI5 italian TTS engine doesn't exist for free :(

So, have I to buy other vendor's TTS SAPI5 package for italian
language?

Thanks again,
cdr

Does anyone know if Dragon Naturally Speaking 8 provides a SAPI 5
compliant TTS engine?

Hello

To complete the response of GrandPa Jim (thank-you for the link) :

In the speech control panel is listed voices SAPI5 installed, and therefore
voices SAPI4 of Microsoft Agent there are not

Of other voices SAPI5 with Microsoft Reader: Not sure that they install
themselves without Microsoft Reader, and therefore, I
suggest you to do:
1/ Installation of Microsoft Reader:
http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/pc.asp
2/ Installation of the additional languages (english, french, german) :
http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/tts.asp

Cordially

Bonjour

Pour compléter la réponse de GrandPa Jim (merci pour le lien) :

Dans le speech control panel est listé les voix SAPI5 installées, et donc
les voix SAPI4 de Microsoft Agent n'y sont pas

D'autres voix SAPI5 avec Microsoft Reader :
Pas sûr qu'elles s'installent sans Microsoft Reader, et donc, je te suggère
de faire :
1/ Installation de Microsoft Reader :
http://www.microsoft.com/reader/downloads/pc.asp
2/ Installation des langues supplémentaires (anglais, français, allemand) :
http://www.microsoft.com/reader/developers/downloads/tts.asp

Cordialement
