Since I don't want to buy a new voice and I can't stand Microsoft Sam, how can I just turn it off?

[Huggybaby]

Well, speech doesn't work with the latest build. If you're using the FS2 Open launcher, go to the Speech tab and deselect the three options to turn it off.

If you want better speech, go to the links page in my signature, find "COMPUTER SPEECH/ VOICE RECOGNITION", and under that "A couple more VERY good options are HERE and HERE".

BTW, in the launcher " the "Get Aditional Voices" (sic) tab doesn't go anywhere useful.

Fixed in CVS.

OMG,..now i really understand why this SC Project was an awesome works !
The possibility ! The possibility !

Yeah,..another release must include an good computer voice i guess..Microsoft Sam is sucks.

Wtf? Bump from the grave man. This isn't even in the right section

Spambot?

Sam is replaced by Anna in Vista.

[diceman111]

Yeah and anna is better

[Agentbolt]

Ana sounds really, really good.  It's unfortunate there's no guy voice, however. 

[wolfen]

Anna sounds better than Sam did, but still Anna isn't human, it still sounds like a computer voice.

[neoterran]

who said it sounded human ?

isnt there some kinda open source tts engine out there you could use instead? something that supports using more than one voice at a time. ideally id like a system that has a different voice for each persona.

also another good idea would be to make the game play vasudantalk.wav (the vasudan speech wav file that comes with the fred docs), while the tts engine is talking for a vasudan persona.

[neoterran]

no, there is nothing like that. it's really just a stopgap measure so you can have some clue of what's going on. human voiceacting is preferred, but most campaigns don't have that (i feel it is really important)

who said it sounded human ?

My 9 year old son

[neoterran]

[wolfen]

Don't worry neo he thinks all female voices sound human computer, phone or otherwise.
