You would have to install at least the following:


Microsoft Speech control panel (recommended) (free download). (~900 KB exe)
Includes SAPI4, so you don't have to install both.


Microsoft US English voices, Mary, Mike and Sam for SAPI4 (free download) (~7 MB)

Follow the links on http://heimskringla.com/software/polyglot/index.html

After starting up Polyglot, find the menu Edit and then Speakers, and try it out from there.

but my other question is. How do you get the stuff you type in for the D.j to Say stay and not disappear. I'm listening to the player now I'm just having a hard time getting voices to work and scheduling them

It's like a script system that I haven't documented yet. Sorry. Embarassed

Some day I'll do it when I have the time.

Meanwhile, you could try to figure it out by looking at this sample .

Code:


[talktesoro]
0={backpresent} {personality}    {timecheck}
1={backpresent} {forwardpresent} {timecheck}
2={backpresent} {stationid}      {timecheck}
3={backpresent} {forwardpresent} {timecheck}
4={backpresent} {personality}    {timecheck}
5={backpresent} {stationid}      {timecheck}

[backpresent]
0=[s:english] (* We have been listening to <a:-2> with <S:-2> followed by *) (* <A:-1> and <S:-1>.*)
1=[s:english] (* <S:-1>. That's <A:-1>. *) (* Before that we listened to <A:-2> and <S:-2>.*)

[forwardpresent]
0=(* [s:english] Coming up, <A:+1>. *)
1=(* [s:english] Here's <A:+1>. *)
2=(* [s:english] Stay tuned to listen to <A:+1>. *)

[timecheck]
0=[s:spanish] Nuestro reloj dice que <time spanish> <part spanish>.
1=[s:spanish] Hora actual, <time spanish> <part spanish>.
2=[s:spanish] Hora pirata, <time spanish> <part spanish>.
3=[s:spanish] Mi reloj señala que <time spanish> <part spanish>.
4=[s:spanish] Hora bárbara, <time spanish> <part spanish>.

[stationid]
0=[s:spanish] Esto es Radio Pirata 99 punto 9 FM, Managua, Nicaragua.
1=[s:spanish] Radio Pirata, triple doble ve, punto pirata, punto com, punto ni.

[personality]
0=[s:english] Today is <weekday english>, <month english> <day>.
1=[s:english] I'm Henry Morgan. How are you this <weekday english>?
2=[s:spanish] Felicidades a todos los que celebran este <weekday spanish>, el <day> de <month spanish>.
3=[s:spanish] Soy Sancho Panza. ¿Cómo están este <weekday spanish>?



Copy this and put in a textfile and name the textfile "talk.pgr" and put that textfile in the same directory as where you installed Polyglot (probably c:\Program Files\polyglot)

Now, in Polyglot, go to the menu Edit -> Edit Talk...

There are 2 levels: Sections and Values.

And on the toplevel there's a name for the whole thing, which in this case is "talktesoro". It could be anything, as long as it starts with "talk".

Some hints:
[s:english] means speaker language English
<a:-2> means the artist that performed the last song but one
<S:-1> means the last song title
<A:+1> means the next artist that's coming up
What's inside (* *) will be excluded if the program can't find the corresponding information.

This piece is set for one English and one Spanish speaker. Try and figure out the logic behind it, and edit to something that suits yourself, and then close the dialog.

Now, you would have to enter the "tesoro" item in the "Format". More on that later...
