So, I haven't had to use sapi in a while (I like my jaws). I recently requested and downloaded a BlindGamers game from Spoonbill. But that's besides the point. I start the game, and Sapi comes on, my computer completely glitches out and I get an error message. "WARNING, YOUR LICENSE IS NOT VALID FOR THIS COMPUTER!" Does anyone know any way to fix this?

hi
I think that's mean you are use a demo virsion of the voice it self
not in sapi5

Sapi itself is free with windows, so there are no licensing problems, but it might be that if your using a commercial voice there is a license problem.

The spoonbill games use your default sapi voice from the control panel. Go into control panel and then speech, and try changing your default voice to another one and see if that helps, ---- ms sam is sam and Anna are free with windows, so even though pretty dire as far as voices go should always work.

You could also try the delusalex program from www.kitchinsinc.net, which resets sapi settings and can often fix problems, though from the sound of it this isn't that sort of issue.

Hi,

I'd be on the same side as my foreposters. Most likely, the demo of the voice you were trying to use has run out.

Either you switch to a Microsoft default voice, try ESpeak from espeak.sf.net (I think, might be wrong), or purchase some SAPI voices. I'd recommend the Ivona TTS voices, those seem pretty nice.

Hi,

No, sir, Foreposters. I guess, posters that posted before me. I'm not sure if foreposter is even a word, but if it wasn't then it's now. big_smile
I'd not like to be eaten! If you, however, kill me, then either be quick about it, or torture me forever. But no playing in between!

I know what you meant, I was just rather amused by being compared to a particularly grand type of bed.

Fine then. Be sure to use your best though, as I'm not defeated easily. tongue

Oh I never said defeat, I think there arefar easier ways to get a dragon into the pot.

For instance, ---- ooooh look, there goes an undersized burgler holding a golden cup, ---- quick, dive in after him!

don't worry, I have no intention of slamming the lid down and attempting to roast you at all! big_smile.

Hi,

big_smile You honestly thought I'd fall for that? That, while living with humans for over 15 years? tongue

Hi

If you are getting those errors you probably have a licensed voice that is unregistered. I remember when i first got Kate and Paul, it would say "This is to be used for testing and evaluation purposes only" The thing was it would say these messages then what ever sapi was to say and it got annoying.
I wouldn't recommend using the Microsoft voices unless you have to. You might be better off with Mike, Mary, or Sam rather than Anna because she's too quiet.
If you want really good voices, get neo speech.
I enjoy all of there voices more than realspeak.
Some realspeak voices might be good to get, but i don't like those as much as neo speech and I think they cost $60 a piece which seems too much.
I think neo speech costs about $25 or so and it's worth it to get those voices, because. they. are. good.
Hope that helps, and let me know in a post if it doesn't.
