Am I the only one who thinks tying a tts engine to one screen reader is a backward practice? I'm sure there are licensing conditions and the like which force this, but it does seem rather outmoded as compared to the way OS X and Linux work where speech engines are shared by a central API and available to any applications that utilize the system-wide tts API.
Hi Jake:
Great point but we do have a method to the madness. Truth is that the native interfaces provided by the manufacturers of TTS engines work better than both SAPI 4 and 5. While SAPI provides flexibility it comes with a price. That price is responsiveness. When developing a screenreader we think it's more important to provide responsiveness, when it comes to TTS, than flexibility to use the voices with SAPI.
