Ingame Automated Speech Config (not again)
Before sending me out and closing this thread: I've read all threads related to the topic, and that wasn't asked before (if it was, search can't find it).

Recently I've installed AT&T Natural Voices. I don't really understood the utility. Besides new Crystal Voice and a small config window without any significant options in Control Panel I found nothing related to it (that probably was just the engine?). I didn't install any related applications that go on the CD since they are for other things like news and articles reading, etc. In Launcher v5.x I can choose it now (before I saw this MS Sam (why they always do all so bad???)), and it reads all ingame messages.

Still I remember someone said something about custom dictionary I could create, to make it pronounce GTVA correctly for ex. Also how I add another voices?

Are there any other good/better automated speech utilities compatible with the Launcher?

P.S. I just can't play reading all the stuff through message log or staring above all the time... :sigh:

I installed the natural voices at one point but I found they slowed down FS2 too much so I uninstalled them again (might be worth trying again now that I'm on a fresh XP install).

Installing the other voices was as easy as just using the installer from the CD to install the guy's voice.

Never did play about with the dictionary though.

Will take a look at CD, but I saw no additional voices there..., just some on the official website not for free of course.

I have the same problem with this voice btw, it makes game slow. (Athlon XP 2700, 1Gb RAM, Radeon 9600 Pro)

Ah. I have a 2 CD thingy and the other voice was on the second CD.

Lightspeed was the guy who reccomended it to me and it does make me wonder what kind of computer he has since my specs are the similar to yours

i recomended implementing a lexicon table for commonly misspronounced words awhile back. dnt think anyone liked my suggestion though.
