I agree with Jake M. It is my understanding that Software Automatic
Mouth was the first software-based speech synthesizer. I would not want
to use SAPI5 or NVDA ad-on of Software Automatic Mouth because the TTS
mispronounces simple words. I typed the following sentences into the
online version of Better SAM.
"JAWS for Windows is ready. In the beginning, God created the heavens
and the earth."
Windows, beginning and heavens were all mispronounced. Meaning: not
spoken correctly by Software Automatic Mouth. I could probably hear
better TTS if I still had Windows XP with Microsoft Sam.
