How to control the Lernout & Hauspie Text-to-Speech engi

[VSDomotics]

I like to let Girder speak using my Dutch L&H TTS Engine (TTS3000). As far as I know it's SAPI4 compliant. Is there a way to use for instance LUACOM. I don't have the SDK kit with examples. I don't know with routines I have to call. It shows under my speech control (under settings-speech-tab: other) as SAPI4 "L&H Speech Connection V4". Has anybody suggestions?

Hi,

Have you tried searching here using "sapi". I believe I posted some sapi stuff using luacom. If not, let me know and I will try and find it.

Mike,
Sure I did. Searching the forum is very valuable to me (almost daily). I found different postings about SAPI but nothing I could use for my specificic problem. I also searched MS forums. I think SAPI4 is the problem; SAPI5 is working fine using the Say-plugin. Perhaps you have some additional information. I think it has something to do with my TTSMGR60.DLL.

It sure is hard to find any references to sapi 4...

I think the best way to do this is with luacom and MS Agent.

Have a look at this thread for some examples using MS Agent.

There is also a link to the MS Agent COM object on msdn.

I'll have a look. Thank you.
