Guest biermanoski Posted September 15, 2008 Posted September 15, 2008 Download Link: Speech API 4. Text to Speech Engine (English) Download Link: Text To Speech Engine Hi, Above is a quote from MagikFortune's Software required page. However, when I Click on either link - it then directs me to the Microsoft Explorer page http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/ie/default.aspx But which Links (?) on that Microsoft Internet Explorer page do I then Click on (?) in order to Download those (2) needed Speech Programs? BTW, I'm using WindownsXP SP2 and my Character is, Peedy. However, I do hear the flapping sound of his wings, when he comes, or goes. But that's all. -- Thank you, Jean

Guest biermanoski Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Magik Fortune's Character Can't Speak I did. Error Tab on page reads, "The system cannot find the file specified." Thanks, anyway, Donald. And I am sorry that I took so long to get back to You :) Both Times :)) Jean "Donald Anadell" wrote: > You can try pasting the direct download link into the Address bar: > > http://activex.microsoft.com/activex/controls/agent2/tv_enua.exe > > Good luck, > > Donald Andell > > > "biermanoski" <biermanoski@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message > news:A9E4F8EA-174D-4DDB-ABF7-0EBDFE5ABEDD@microsoft.com... > > Download Link: Speech API > > > > 4.

Guest biermanoski Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Magik Fortune's Character Can't Speak BALL OF CONFUSION IS MICROSOFT! I have spent several hours perusing & downloading many, Text-to-Speech & SAPI 4.0 Downloads only to dead-end myself. Jeepers! What is wrong with MS anyway? Why is there so much of similar everything and so much stuff that simply doesn't work?? I think the guy on the Apple commercials has got it right; I mean after all these years - and things just seem to get more convoluted as time goes on. A simple thing of just getting an animated character to talk is a big big production that can't be done simply, for Heaven's Sake! At this point, in time, the computers should not only be diagnosing themselves, but resolving their own issues! And WE should be living a quality of life - instead of living a time-consuming-frustrating-wasted time and energy exsistance on this crap. Lastly, to think that Gates is the richest man in America. As in 57 billion worth? If ever anyone did not deserve a large amount of $ he's gotta be 1st in line. Period. -- Thank you, Jean "biermanoski" wrote: > I did.

Guest biermanoski Posted September 27, 2008 Posted September 27, 2008 Re: Magik Fortune's Character Can't Speak Sorry, "Bill G." about that last Post. I finalllllllly got Peedy talking. Wow, MagikFortune's downloading web site http://www.ezytools.com/magikfortune (2) downloading links were strangely sensitive. I use a Notebook w/touch-pad but never had this experience B/4; it just wouldn't connect whenever I had tapped on it. However, I kept coming back, and finally, I made a connection, and was then able to download both of the programs. But the 1st link I didn't need as SAPI 4.0 is installed by WINXP default (as the previous Poster noted) so I had this new one, plus the default one, and then another that I had come across on the Miscrosoft MSAGENT web site. What a mess. But it's all ok, now. Really ok since I invested so much time. Whew!
