Have a look in my KiXtart manual for an appendix on converting OLE calls to COM and back.

I like to use 2 agents as more than a page of text from one and I am asleep. I used to use DrSbaitso in the (good) old days and it took about 4 sentences to put em to sleep.

I wrote my own text to speech engine in KiX a long time ago, let me see if I can find it. Nope, it is too old for this board

If you want it, email me. I will zip up the .WAVs and send you the script. I made it by recording some phonemes (sounds) and the script sequences the sounds into words. It is quite creepy and sounds just like me if I talk slowly and enunciate.
