Hi folks,

I've downloaded the KAREN and HANS voices from the Microsoft agent website, which is the Dutch Lernout & Haspie TTS3000 engine. I've found some code to list the available engines in a combobox, but this only lists the default MS engines. This, due to the fact that these voices are Sapi 5 complient. The voices I would like to use are only Sapi 4. Is there a way to use this engine as default on form load or something? I'm writing a program in dutch, which helps children with homework. I would like the displayed words to be read out load as well.

Now, i've played with the languageid, but can't seem to find the right ID on the net for it or my syntax is totally wrong.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hans

Have a look at my Mvquiz It uses MsAgents but you can also choose any Text to Speech engine installed on your computer. Wink
