SayIt - Text to Speech System

SayIt provides simple Text-To-Speech capabilities for Windows 95/98/NT systems through the use of a set of simple applications. The primary SAYIT.EXE file provides the ability to type anything into the text window and have the system speak those words. However, the fun begins with the ability of this FREE package by using the SPEAK.EXE and READ.EXE programs which take the command line or filename given and send the information to the SAYIT program to speak. Once SayIt is running, you can run SPEAK from the command line in DOS or from Windows and have it speak such as; SPEAK This is a test. Similarly you can use the READ.EXE program to read out a text file such as READ C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT which will read your autoexec file to you.

SayIt was orginally thrown together to provide a better Text-To-Speech system for my ProtoWrxs Home Automation System to replace an old DOS based system. The system is built upon the Microsoft Speech SDK that provides an easy way to add Text-To-Speech and voice recognition to Visual Basic Apps. I have tested the program under Windows95b, Windows98 and WindowsNT Workstation w/ SP3 without problems.

Notice - Stephen W. Nolen and ProtoWrxs makes NO CLAIMS as to the useability of this program, it's abuse or misuse. If you like it fine, if not sorry... just uninstall it.

SAYIT.ZIP (1.5Meg)
Install routine includes SAYIT.EXE, SPEAK.EXE, READ.EXE and support files

SayIt REQUIRES the Text-To-Speech/Voice Recognition API file
to be downloaded and installed and requires
at least ONE of the voice files to be downloaded and installed.

Text-to-speech / Voice Recognition API File
SPCHAPI.ZIP (785Kb)
This file is REQUIRED for SayIt to function. Download, unzip and run it.

Mary voice at 22 kHz. - The best sounding in my opinion
MSTTSF22L.ZIP (~2.4meg)
If you are on a slow link and don't care about having multiple voices, use Mary.

Mary, Mike and Sam voices at 8 kHz and 22 kHz
MSTTSL.ZIP . (~7.5 meg)
Here's several different voices and quality levels for those more adventuresome people.
