hey guys, just made the switch finally to win 7 from xp im still getting used to it. one thing thats really been drivin me nuts is the text to speech voice microsoft anna. i use ventrilo and prefer to have all actions set to text to speech. now on xp it was microsoft sam, male voice.


my question is, can i get another voice and install it, preferably microsoft sam or close?

I looked a little on google and found a hotfix that added male voice to win 7 but i couldn't get it to install, would error and close.

Those files are for Microsoft Agent, something not found in Windows 7 at all. As I understand that hotfix is due to some programs calls to MS Agent and crashes, so the hotfix installs some core components so the program wont crash.

Will see if I can find something else though.

i finally found a program that allows you to have different voices and even different languages in any text to speech program, just installed it and now i have a male voice in ventrilo again, yay. here's a link to the program if anyone's interested.http://www.acapela-group.com/infovox-desktop-for-windows-3-speech-solutions.html
