Re - text-to-speech on WindowsXP

[Stephen King]

Hi Barry,

I had the same problem with Rev 2.0 and Mailed Rev about it and got the
following reply from Tuviah.

---> snip
>Does anyone know if Text to speech works in windows? I have tried Win XP
and
>Win 98 (using a button for both) and each time I get the error message
'Can't
>initialise speech engine'
Works with SAPI 4. We will support SAPI 5 soon
--->

So I guess its being looked at. I couldn't find any ref in the bug database
though which was a bit puzzling. Anyone know any more?

Have not been able to try 2.0.2 yet as I haven't worked out how to get Rev
to accept my new license code yet! But have been a bit busy though.

Cheers
Steve
