Desktop Buddy Resources

This page includes a number of links that may be useful to users of Desktop Buddy.

Synthesized Voices

The full, licensed version of Desktop Buddy is supplied with two of the highest quality synthesized voices available (one male and one female).

The trial version, however, does not include any voices of its own. Nevertheless, the software should work with any SAPI4 and SAPI5 voices already installed on your computer. You may also like to increase your options by adding other voices. If so, you will find that there is a range of voices available on the web.

NOTE: You should look for Text to Speech (TTS) engines that are SAPI4 or SAPI5 compatible.
