Vista voice imported !

A few days ago one of Americas most revered education institutes contacted me asking for details on how they could assist me with open-sapi.

This is very exciting as it is the first organisation to see the potential use in their projects. A requirement for them was to move from SAPI 4 voices to the new SAPI 5.3 voice that has been in use in Windows since the release of Vista.

So open-sapi did not quite need their needs as it run SAPI 5.1, but still looked promising for helping to automate their backend text to speech production.

So I started this seriously last night and now (the day after) have Microsoft Anna chattering away on my Ubuntu machine.

So a big milestone for open-sapi is that it now support the lastest and gretest free SAPi TTS voice from microsoftt.
