Yes, it took me ages to sort out what
you
need to install/purchase to get it all working !! On the positive side the voices are
amazing, almost too realistic...........
- Make sure you have build 28 or higher of Homeseer
installed.
- Download the SAPI 5 Runtime engine (text to speech component
only) from the homeseer website
ftp://ftp.homeseer.com/pub/SAPI5TTS.exe
- Purchase online the 'AT&T Natural voice text to speech
Desktop edition' from AT&T at $50 http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/buy/tts_english.html
- Purchase online additional voices if you want (Definitely
recommended) make sure you buy 16Khz ones. $49 per voice (same url as
above)
- AT&T ship via DHL and it seems to take about 10 days to get to
the UK
If you want to here the quality of the
voices yourselves look at http://www.naturalvoices.att.com/demos/index.html
You do need to install of the software
above, I thought I could just install the runtime and the extra voices but
you
can't. Once you have the software installation is completely straight
forward.
Hope this
helps
