I wish we could have the source for that and put it into FS2, it would be great for reading non dramatic stuff.

If anyone knows were you can get code for a half decent one put the link up and I might consider integrating it.

Hit the Microsoft website, specifically the Agent 2.0 stuff. There's links there for text to speech convertors that are reasonably low-cycle stuff. If I remember rightly, the MS-Agent is really just an animated overlay to another company's speech synthesis engine.

I don't, however, know if the source is available, or if you're going to be linking to external DLLs. I stopped playing with the Agent API ages ago. :D

"...The quintessential quality of our age is that of dreams coming true. Just think of it. For centuries we have dreamt of flying; recently we made that come true: we have always hankered for speed; now we have speeds greater than we can stand: we wanted to speak to far parts of the Earth; we can: we wanted to explore the sea bottom; we have: and so  on, and so on: and, too, we wanted the power to smash our enemies utterly; we have it. If we had truly wanted peace, we should have had that as well. But true peace has never been one of the genuine dreams - we have got little further than preaching against war in order to appease our consciences. The truly wishful dreams, the many-minded dreams are now irresistible - they become facts." - 'The Outward Urge' by John Wyndham

"The very essence of tolerance rests on the fact that we have to be intolerant of intolerance. Stretching right back to Kant, through the Frankfurt School and up to today, liberalism means that we can do anything we like as long as we don't hurt others. This means that if we are tolerant of others' intolerance - especially when that intolerance is a call for genocide - then all we are doing is allowing that intolerance to flourish, and allowing the violence that will spring from that intolerance to continue unabated." - Bren Carlill

Meh - is it just me, or does the downloadable program sound a lot worse than the stuff generated by the website? :doubt:

no, it's actually awesome.  you type in a text field what you want it tosay, and then it says it... you can program the voice you want it to say it in too... very user-friendly and loads of fun.


EDIT:  the name is because the original maker made it for people to annoy and talk **** (hence the name:  "**** Talker") to telephone salesmen :D

This works better than I had expected... :)

The only thing with regards to FS2 is that it seems to mess up on some of mythological names used for ships. :D

[edit] :wtf: it says Shivans like "shyvans..." :p :D

If you buy the full thing you get to tweek how it says things and stuff. Just imagine, a few years time this will be standard, hopefully part of windows.

Then you may not be reading these boards, they might be read to you!

Games could use it for non scripted interaction that is put together from a number of variables.

Try 'Sheevans' instead and it works nicely. All you need is an option in the program to replace Sheavans with Sheevans before reading.

I've seen it put been unable to actually get it to do anything.
Besides this one is of an increadably high quality.
