This is an experimental version of eSpeak as a Windows SAPI 5 DLL.

(Note that the information in the docs directory refers to the
Linux version).


Installation
============

Run the  setup.exe  file.

eSpeak should now appear in the list of available text-to-speech voices
in the TTSApp (a sample TTSapplication) and other applications.

The "build" directory contains the program source code and build files.
It is not needed for running eSpeak.



Adjustable Parameters
=====================
Speaking rate is variable between -10 and 10.
Pitch is variable between -20 tand 20.



Languages and Voices
====================

The  setup.exe  sets up 3 eSpeak voices:

espeak-default  uses the voice espeak-data/voices/default
espeak-en       English  (espeak-data/voices/en/en)
espeak-af       Afrikaans  (espeak-data/voices/af).  This may install
                a different language if it is recognized from your
                Windows desktop settings.


To use another languages,

Go into the directory eSpeak/espeak-data/voices  and copy the file for
the required language voice to replace the file "default".


TTSApp
======

This is the Microsoft sample TTS application, which you can use to
test eSpeak and other SAPI5 speech engines.


To do
=====
(suggestions are needed on how to do these):

1. A better way of changing voices and languages.
