Hi Doris, If you install the sapi5.inf as I outlined, you should cure your speech recognition error too. All the best Steve -----Original Message-----From: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf OfChris & Doris Sent: Sunday 12 October 2008 18:51 To: access-uk@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [access-uk] Re: Broken TTS in XP The ssapi that comes with win xp is sapi 5.1 and not sapi 4. Sapi 4 came with win 2k. I'll send you a asapi repair tool off list that you can try. If that doesn't work, you can try to reinstall sapi 5 from your xp cd. I am also having the speech recognition engine error and have not been able to fix that yet but that should not impact your being able to change the default tts voice. I'm intersted to see wwhat solutions people come up with. Cheers, doris At 05:40 PM 10/12/2008 +0100, you wrote:Folks, Here's a new one. I can't change the default TTS Engine under control panel/speech. I can preview the voices but when I hit apply it comes up with, "RUNDLL An exception occurred while trying to run "C:\WINDOWS\system32\shell32.dll,Control_RunDLL "C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\sapi.cpl",Speech" OK " I downloaded and ran SAPI4's suite from, <http://www.o2a.com/SpeechDownload.htm>http://www.o2a.com/SpeechDownload.htmand it installed, "Microsoft Speech SDK 4.0 and engines Microsoft Voice, Microsoft Dictation, and the Microsoft Speech SDKOK " Convinced this would fix it.... It did not. Furthermore when I launch the Speech Applet I get, "Speech Properties The requested task cannot be carried out because the necessary engine could not be created. Please select a different engine and/or a different audio device. OK " I've SP3 on the machine but had these problems with SP2 as well. I was actually hoping there would be a Hot Fix in SP3 that would have fixedit.Any suggestions?
