    If this technology were to implement in a manner that's economical, reliable, imagine how many people it could help. Thank you sharing.

    Hi, Nektar: Thanks you very much that you raised many detailed feedback. Some are related to Narrator, some are related TTS engine. I will forward your comments about narrator to narrator team to help them thinking on the design. For your comments on TTS, yes, naturalness sounding, pause and break, language coverage etc are what we need to tackle with. For the kit for developers, what kind of kit do you have in mind?  Developing TTS for a new language requires many effort on natural language processing and wave recording. It is not so easy for individual developers yet

    Do you install 32 bit TTS on 64 bit Win7? If so, you need to run the .net app as 32 bit process

    Thanks for this page. How does one use 32 bit TTS voices on 64 bit windows 7? I can see the list of voices when I run the 32 bit tts properties panel from WindowssysWOW64speechSpeechUXSAPI.cpl. However, I am unable to preview any of the voices. How can preview and set one as default? Thanks

    I think if you install Win7 with Chinese language pack, you can find Chinese voice.
