Help on SAPI.LIB
Paolo Borlandi
the test program. The following errors arise:
[Linker Error] Unresolved external '_IID_ISpVoice' referenced from
D:\BORLAND\CBUILDER5\PROJECTS\UNIT1.OBJ
[Linker Error] Unresolved external '_CLSID_SpVoice' referenced from
D:\BORLAND\CBUILDER5\PROJECTS\UNIT1.OBJ
Have some help? I think the sapi.lib is not ok...
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!!

http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.asp
and download:
1. MS Agent Core Component
2. Text-to-speech engine
3. SAPI 4 Runtime binaries
Install all (sequence is not important)
Then go to BCB:
Main Menu / Component / Import Active X Control
Scroll down untill you see in the 'Class name' area:
TTextToSpeech
Install it (and build)
I'm not sure, I think that you should install the package
here, via:
Main Menu / Component / Install packages
... but I realy cannot remember. Try yourself anyway.
TTextToSpeech should appear as a component at
ActiveX tab.
If you drag/dropped the component on your form, you
can use it something like this:
TextToSpeech->Speak( (WideString)"Say something" );
Also see the rest of the downloads on MS site because there
are some nice things you can use in your projects.
Best regards,

You don't need MSAgent in order to use SAPI. SAPI is standalone, it does
not use MSAgent. MSAgent, on the other hand, uses SAPI.

You did not add the .lib files to your project. Not only that, but you
cannot use Microsoft .lib files in Borland compilers to begin with. They
are not compatible. The best way to get around those errors is to just
define the values in your code directly:
const IID IID_ISpVoice = {0x6C44DF74, 0x72B9, 0x4992, {0xA1, 0xEC, 0xEF,
0x99, 0x6E, 0x04, 0x22, 0xD4}};
const CLSID CLSID_SpVoice = {0x96749377, 0x3391, 0x11D2, {0x9E, 0xE3,
0x00, 0xC0, 0x4F, 0x79, 0x73, 0x96}};

I did what Mr. Stefanovic said and all is right. Ok MsAgent is not
important. In this way you have the Activexes available in VCL and is very
simple to use them.

I made a mini dictionary which has a capabilitie
of pronouncing words. I can use the app because
I previously installed the two mentioned exe's from
MS site.
When I want to deploy the app to some other machine
should I also mention that these two exe's should be
installed by the user or there is some other way.

I forgot to mention that there is a BCB-compatible version of sapi.lib for
SAPI 5 available at http://makefiles.lebeausoftware.org

I never import ActiveX controls that way in the first place, but that is
just my personal preference. I prefer to load them manually in my own code.
Then I have absolute control over their usage.

Yes, the user must install them, or else the components have nothing to load
at run-time.

Remy, how do you 'load them manually'?
(I never did anything similar)

By using CoCreateInstance() to instantiate ActiveX controls and then access
their interfaces directly, not via VCL wrappers.

We have a similar application where we want to communicate with voice modems
and do Speech Synthesis (SS) & Speech Recognition (SR). First we tried to
use the SapiEngine from TurboPower's AsynchPro version 4 package. It caused
problems, on entry it would say something like "not optimized for phone". We
have a Dialogic 4 port board in a Windows 2000 platform and we are using
BCPPB6. It was able to play wave files and DTMF tones into the phone. But
the output of SS would only work into the sound card speakers. The
application would also crash on exit.
We then looked at this thread of messages and subsequently we tried using
TTextToSpeech as recommended in this thread. We don't have any help files
for this and we don't know how to direct its output into the phone lines.
Sound board speakers still work. No crashes. Also when we try to use
TDirectSS we get:
[C++ Error] TAPIUnit1.h(83): E2015 Ambiguity between 'TDirectSS' and
'Adisapi::TDirectSS'
Does anyone have any suggestions for getting any of these to work? Code
snippets will be appreciated so that if we need to send "handles" we know
how to get a handle.
