Text-to-Speech test page for SAPI 4

1. Write some text into the box below and select a speech engine.
2. The text will then be be sent to the speech engine and recorded as a wave file.
3. The wave file will then be sent back for you to listen to.

Tip: To get some idea of the strengths as well as the weaknesses of speech engines and how they work try some phrases like "What leads a rebel to rebel?"; "Why do rebels rebel?"; and "They refuse to throw out the refuse."

You can try the different voices in the Lernout & Hauspie TruVoice speech engine for SAPI 4. The American Male voices are good, but the female voices are not as good as the SAPI 5 voices.
