Hi Barry,

IIRC, it's on the to-do list. The Microsoft drones
managed to make the API for the WinXP text-to-speech
backward-_in_compatible.
So every application that used the earlier APIs,
including RevSpeech, has to be updated to support this
new API as well.

Hope this answered your question,

Jan Schenkel.
