I gave the code in my first message. Here it is again:
SetActiveVoiceProfileByName ("Carmen2")
SayString(sTrText)
SetActiveVoiceProfileByName ("Eloquence")
The first line changes the voice to a specified voice profile, then it should
speak the message and then it should change the voice profile back to Eloquence.
But the third line is executed immediately, and when it is executed, the
previously synthesizer is stopped so it doesn't speak anything.
Thanks.
