Hi,
I think I have found voice box uses your default SAPI voice.
At 08:20 AM 1/18/2006 +0200, you wrote:
>You're right. It can only be used to list all the SAPI 4 voices you have,
not to select them for use. I don't know if there's a way for selecting them
for use with VoiceBox, although I hope that there would be. Maybe someone
who knows better can inform we about this.

Hi All,
I will be receiving an Archos unit shortly and would like to flash Rockbox 
onto it as I am blind and need the voice prompts to access my unit.  I want 
to know, once Rockbox is flashed, can I then delete everything from my root 
drive (i.e. the rockbox folder) and have no reprocutions?  Including the 
voice file?
Also, I'd like to know whether I can format my newly-received unit and not 
mess up the player.  For example, are there certain system folders that you 
aren't supposed to delete (not including the Rockbox folders)?  What I mean 
is, I want to format the unit so it's new and fresh, and THEN install 
Rockbox.

Subject: MP3 Fixer Util - RELEASE
To: rockbox@cool.haxx.se
Message-ID: <6.1.2.0.2.20060120081552.04bdc200@wheresmymailserver.com>

Hey Rockboxers,
As many of you will know ...Recordings made with Rockbox contain "known" 
errors such as:
# Corrupt Audio Frames
# Bad/Incomplete Xing headers
# Stray bit errors
In the process of writing my personal MP3 util I decided to write it such 
that I can fix these errors quickly and easily.
Download the simple util from the Cyborg Systems FTP space using this link:
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/cyborgsystems/rockbox/cs_aedit_0100_beta.zip
The zip is only 122K and includes source code.
The source code is respectable, but this is an ongoing project so please 
don't expect _perfect_ layout and commenting.
The util is a command line program.  So it should be portable to pretty 
much any O/S.
Simply use /h or /? to get full help on all the various features.
The file "Version.h" contains useful documentation should you need to look 
deeper ...Such as Exit codes, todo list, etc.
In this beta version, there is currently no way to DISable VBRFix
...so ALL files will be given a NEW Xing header.
The util knows how to detect Rockbox recordings and will automatically fix 
any "stray bit errors" ..."NEO MP3" users will need to enable stray bit 
hunting with the  /hunt  switch.
I have yet to find a way to repair corrupt START frames, if you have any 
ideas, feel free to share them to be included in the next version of the
util.
The great news is that corrupt END frames CAN be recovered now with
/mpar:<x>  [MPegAudioRecovery].
If your MP3 file has a corrupt END frame (very common), the .log file will 
tell you what value is suitable for <x> and what the chances are of a 
successful recovery.
All features by members of this list here have been included (such as 
specify output directory, include vbrfix'er, etc).  Now is a good time to 
suggest further ideas.
The util has a l-o-n-g journey ahead of it, and I'm sure there will be many 
people to thank en route - for now may I thank the Rockbox Devs who have 
helped me with obscure knowledge, testing, *example files*, feature 
requests, etc.
The util is free (as in free) - however, if you do make modifications and 
enhancements to it, it would be great to hear from you.
Enjoy!
