Does anyone know what interface is used by Eloquence?

It is not SAPI 4 nor 5, and it works better than a SAPI voice.

The problem with the SAPI voices is that at a certain moment only a single 
SAPI5 voice can be active, and in order to change the voice we need to go into 
Control Panel/Speech, and changing the active voice there doesn't always work.
For example, I've tried to use ESpeak sinthesizer, and I couldn't make it 
active but only by deleting all others voices from the Registry.
And this was a problem also because Narrator doesn't work without those MS made 
voices.

Does anyone know some books or tutorials for working with these things under 
Windows? But of course, not MSDN, because it refers only to ways of creating 
sinthesizers which are not used by any good company that creates sinthesizers. 
Information about creating sinthesizers that work under Symbian are also 
welcome.

  as an extra idea, you may want to go back to 
  SAPI 4, and research both at MS, and on the web, (added note, if you don't 
get it on Google, try web crawler, more than once, if I couldn't find it on 
Google, I found it with a web crawler search)



  there seems to have been more available for 

  SAPI 4 and it's agents, which might give you clues on how to approach it in 

  SAPI 5.  



  just a thought for you folks,

    ehe!
    it is not so easy even you want to make a concatenated voice not a formant 
one...
    I am trying now to understand how to make a voice for the language from my 
country
    I search for documentation, but it seems that this is a taboo subject 
because I didn't find nothing how to code speach.

      Well I was wondering, 
      Is there a program that will help you create Sapi5 voices?

      Like something that you speak a number of letters into a microphone then 
it gets an understanding of your voice and creates a sapi5 engine out of it?
