You can use the Windows TTS functionality by using the Microsoft Speech API,
which is a free download. It works on earlier versions of Windows too.
It'sa suite of COM objects for all your TTS needs.

 

Nah, Gates floorpan has a shorter wheelbase. It just *looks* the same

Many, many moons ago I worked for a company that used BBC micros, in
fact, made an industrialised version.

I once, as a joke, hacked a colleague's BBC B so that it would greet
him on power-up.

I had a simple sense of humour in those days.

 

Nonsense. OSX is built on the Mach microkernel. And if that's BSD,
I'll eat my rear tyre.

 

And the Mach Microkernel was written by...... GNU

And the GNU people were mostly working on...... Suns

And Sunos is based on....... BSD Unix

I think you took me too literally. And I was too elliptical.

Soz.

 

Ooh got me wondering where mine is now

BTW, how was the meal?

Forget the "bavarian beer festival" it's expensive and shite, We ended
up in the loggerheads playing shove ha'penny

which was better

 

Great thanks - friends have just moved into a million-pound hall they've
renovated - very grand. I don't normally do jealousy but last night I
yielded.

Heh. Thanks for phoning - sorry I couldn't play out. Be sure to give me a
shout next time you're up.

Cheers
