I would be interested in experimenting with a SAPI5 version of SAM, the
software automatic mouth. It sounds more realistic than Microsoft Sam.

There is absolutely no legal barrier to doing anything you want to with 
this SAM program. Of course, this limited voice may be a bit glitchy, 
but you are permitted to do it. I was thinking of making the entire 
program a sapi5 voice, which I might do.
