Unless Open book has changed recently, I think they use Elloquence or Via
Voice, which isn't what we're looking for.
The Sapi 5 Speech Engine, which is a Microsoft product is usually installed
with Windows, but we have found that if people are using another nonEnglish
version of Windows as their default, then the Sapi 5 engine is not
automatically installed. With the latest version of Book Port Transfer, we are
looking to execute that speech, in order to utalize the conversion of text to
audio. Th3e error he's getting tells us that the speech engine is not
installed and therefore, it can't execute it.

Hi Pamela and list!
That's odd. I know she has Open Book installed. That has, depending on which
version of OpenBook she has, either one or two sapi engines.
Cheers,
Dave
