John,

Yes ,ViaVoice is an IBM synthesizer, which was part of OpenBook.

I don't know why it would hang. It has been a long time since I messed with this and it was a DOS program so there is a dance you have to do to get it working under XP.

Mike,

It didn't work the first time I tried it but I will try again. Is ViaVoice Outlowd a software synthesizer?

When the Install asked me if I wanted to install a map I told it No since I coppied my Map folder and when I hit N and enter it asked me where I wanted to load the maps from. I couldn't get past that point. Any suggestions?

be a software synthesizer in the list you can use. You can also go into the S&A.ini file and change speech and drivers. Make sure and follow the same syntax.
