What does ZRound need to speak?
ZRound only needs a SAPI compatible voice installed. SAPI is the Windows interface that allows any application to speech and an English voice (Sam) is ready to use in a standar installation.
To enable speech in ZRound follow these steps:
- Open “Speaker” configuration page in ZRound
- Check the “Activate SAPI 5.1” option
- Select the voice you want to use.
- Adjust the Speech Volume with the scroll bar at right (it only affects to speech)
You can make a test by entering text into the "Test text" box, then click on the "Listen" button
Add new voices
If you want a better quality voice (and you will) or you need a voice in your language then you will need to add new voices to the system.
