Hi,
I was just wondering, could someone pleas tell me what website i can go to to get the three sappy voices?

a window eyes user?
me too, i've been using sapi for 5 years now.
now, last time i checked there is free voices downloads from microsoft website.
the best package i think is microsoft 1.5dk,
or something like that.

in that package you get
mary
mike,
sam
several robot modifications of their voices
several different sound differences to their voices.
mike in hall- a slight echo
mike in stadium- like hearing it through a loud speaker
mike in space- sentances trailing off into space.
they're quite good
best regards
archer

Archer I think those modified mikes and marries are only available for sapi4.

that is right, but i personally think sapi 4 sounds better then sapi 5.

me too,
personally i feel that the sappi 5 voices sound slower. sappi 4 rules

Where can I download the modifications?

it sounds to me as the sapi 5 voices sound quite sad, depressed or bored. does anyone know how to make sapi sing? i have both versions so i can try with both, but i have heard sapi 4 or 5 not sure sing, any one knows how to do that?

Personally I agree that the original SAPI 5 voice is awful, but I find Mike and Mary better than the SAPI 4 voices (especially Mary). As for speed, that's easily fixed by altering speech rate most of the time.
