"Did you try Agent Reader today?"
Below are the steps for installing
the required Microsoft Agent components:
Agent Reader requires most of these components. You can find additional
Foreign Language Text-to-Speech Engines in Step 2 and the
Speech Recognition Engine in Step 4.
System Requirements
Required:
- Windows 9x/Me/NT4/2000/XP
- Internet Explorer
4.0 or later
- A Pentium 100-MHz PC or faster
- At least 16 MB of RAM
- At least 1 MB free disk space for the core components
- An additional 2-4 MB for each character you install.
- An additional 32K for each language component (dll).
Recommended:
- An additional 1.6 MB free disk space if you plan to use the Lernout & Hauspie® TruVoice Text-To-Speech Engine for speech output
- An additional 22 MB free disk space if you plan to use the Microsoft Speech Recognition Engine for speech input
- A Windows-compatible sound card
- A compatible set of speakers and microphone
Uninstalling Microsoft Agent
Microsoft Agent cannot be
uninstalled . Microsoft Agent becomes an extension to the Windows
Operating System. It also is included as part of
Windows 2000, XP and Windows ME operating systems.
WINDOWS 2000/XP Users:
The Microsoft Agent Core Components are already installed on
Windows 2000/XP, so skip Step
1.
Download the above MSAgent.exe
setup program and run it to install the core components. You may then delete the
setup program.
IMPORTANT: If you're using Windows XP, you should install Microsoft SAPI 4.0a runtime.
Agent Reader and Aldo's Text-to-WAVE also support the new Microsoft SAPI 5.1. Download the optional Microsoft SAPI 5.1 runtime for Windows 2000/ME/98 or the additional Microsoft SAPI 5.1 voices for Windows XP.
The Lernout & Hauspie TruVoice
Text-to-Speech (TTS) Engine provides speech output capabilities for Microsoft Agent so you
can hear what the characters are saying through your sound speakers.
Download the above tv_enua.exe
setup program and run it to install the TTS Engine. You may then delete the setup
program.
If you've already installed this,
you should see Lernout & Hauspie TruVoice American English TTS Engine
in the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs list.
Additional Lernout & Hauspie
TTS3000 Engines
may be downloaded from the table below.
You need to download and install both the TTS Engine and the Language Add-On for the desired Language.
More than 17 different languages supported!!!
For example, to install
French Text-to-Speech, download and install both lhttsfrf.exe and agtx040C.exe
NOTE 1: To listen all available ENGLISH voices in Agent Reader you must download the American English voices from Microsoft (msttsa22L.exe) and TruVoice (tv_enua.exe) listed below.
NOTE 2: For Aldo's Text-to-WAVE, do **NOT** install the voices from Microsoft Text-to-Speech 4.0 (Mary, Mike, Sam, RoboSoft), because this engine has a conflict with the other TTS engines. If you want to use these voices, install the Microsoft SAPI 5.1 or Microsoft SAPI 5.1 voices for XP.

The Speech Control Panel will add an
icon to your Control Panel to enable you to list the compatible speech recognition and
text-to-speech engines installed on your system and customize their settings for your use.
If the Text-to-Speech of your selected language
continue without sound, try installing MS SAPI 4.0a runtime.
For Aldo's Text-to-WAVE, be sure that you have installed Microsoft SAPI 4.0a runtime. It may require that you reboot after installation even if it doesn't ask it.
The Microsoft Speech Recognition
Engine provides speech input capabilities for Microsoft Agent. This allows you to speak to
characters through a microphone. However, Microsoft Agent must be specifically
programmed to understand and interact with what you are saying. Also, Microsoft Agent does
not support dictation.
Download the above actcnc.exe
setup program and run it to install the TTS Engine. You may then delete the setup
program.
If you've already installed this,
you will see
Microsoft Agent Speech Recognition Engine 4.0 (English)
in the Control Panel's Add/Remove Programs list.
* WINDOWS 2000/XP/ME Users:
Merlin is already installed on Windows 2000/XP and Windows ME, so you should not need to install
him.
There are many more Agent
Characters
available in the Microsoft Agent Web Ring Character
Gallery and the Agentry.
