Text-to-Speech on Windows

[Barry Levine]

A friend of mine who is having software developed for him (not by me nor 
using Rev) mentioned to me that his developer (who has, apparently, done 
a lot of work for IBM) wants to use actual sound files rather than 
text-to-speech. The reasons are:
1. The quality of the synthetic speech is not good enough (but he 
doesn't like it on the Mac, either).
2. The software to make text-to-speech work on Windows requires the 
developer to virtually re-install Windows on the target machine; even 
then, there are so many factors that can prevent the speech synthesis 
from working on a PC.

Now, I will readily admit that I don't do Windows so I am simply 
repeating what I have been told and am not passing judgement on whether 
this is true or not.
