How to configure Microsoft SAPI with Prophecy

Microsoft SAPI

Prophecy has been tested with the Microsoft SAPI TTS engine.

SAPI Configuration

Prophecy can access any SAPI voice listed in the Voice Selection drop-down of the Speech control panel. Take note of the exact voice name. This is the name you will use in your scripts.

Prophecy Configuration

If you haven't already, sign in to the Management Console. Go to the 'Servers' section and select the correct Server. The configuration details display all the services configured for this server. Add the Microsoft SAPI service by clicking the add (services) button. Make sure you add the correct service for every voice that you want to make available.

You can now use the service to create resources in your Virtual Platform. The resources can then be used in your applications. For example, in CallXML, if you would like to use the Microsoft Mary voice, you would use the following <say> tag:
<say voice="Microsoft Mary">

For VoiceXML, you can use:
<property name="voicename" value="Microsoft Mary"/>

For CCXML:

<dialogstart src="'null://?text=This is a test of the Text to Speech dialog extension&amp;voice=Microsoft Mary&amp;termdigits=*'" type="'application/x-texttospeech'"/>
