Hi All,
I'm giving this Stascom program a go and so far I like it but, I get this message when doing certain tasks like restarting the computer:
Alert
The only option I get is Microsoft Anna in the notification settings. Can anyone tell the list how to change to a different speech engine / synthesizer than the SAPI5 Microsoft Anna? All help will be greatly appreciated. Thanks much.
