text_to_speech W2007
I found a MS site for adding voices (besides MS Sam) for text-to-speech and
downloaded "SpSTTIntXP.exe". It downloaded and unzipped ok but did not add the voices. What do I need to read or do next? Using Windows XP Prof and Word 2007. TIA |

Well, if you're typing the URL as "gmayer," then that could be part of the
problem, as it's www.gmayor.com. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA http://word.mvps.org "dp" wrote in message ...

I'm used to experiencing that with my free home.earthlink.net sites, and
Microsoft is running into it with their new forums that have "social" in the name, but I can't imagine why Graham's site would be blocked on the basis of URL alone. To the extent that the site does have personal content, perhaps SonicWall is looking just at his home page and not the Word pages? Is SonicWall a firewall you control and can override? -- Suzanne S.

OK, I see what you got. It isn't just a plug-in to add voices. First
you have to use Visual Studio to write an application that uses voices, in a programming language such as C#, with the other parts of the Speech Software Development Kit (that's what SDK means). Word is not such an application. Also, the reason I couldn't locate the file you mentioned is that you got the name wrong. The character between the 'p' and the 'T' is the digit 5, not the letter S.

SonicWall is a business firewall solution. If it is not capable of being
configured to allow sites like mine to be accessed, then you paid too much for it. It will be more of a hindrance to your business than a help.

I thank you all for your time. Suzanne and Graham: I have to contact an IT
guru. This happened to me before with Graham then all of a sudden it was OK. I even have some of Graham's saved in my 'favorites' that I can't open now for the same odd reason. Jay thanks for the additional information. I obviously didnt know what I was getting into. I'll keep on learning a day at a time. "Jay Freedman" wrote: OK, I see what you got.
