we really need some kind of 64 bit bridge #1

Great job for making this happen! It's stable unlike the other tries I've tried before. One problem, though: a lot of modern 64 bit games and things can use only 64 bit voices, so we really need to brainstorm some kind of way to bridge it. Perhaps make a generic forwarder SAPI voice (kinda like NVDA SAPI) that will then call a 32bit executable to call the 32bit ibmeci.dll or something. It sucks not being able to use it in 64 bit things.

This is planned for the next release, but I haven't found a way to do it yet.

Assume something like this resource in Microsoft Docs has been seen by you already?

Hello. JAWS have both profiles e.g sappi5x and sappi5x64. I tried in sappi5x, but there's no new voice is showing. So i can't use it with that too. Any suggestion?

@datajake1999, perhaps go to build menu and select configurations and mey bee add release x64 and debug x64? and, please adapt this to latest vc. because it's comfertable to edit from vs and build. and latest vs is quite good in my openion. that way we can make configurations for debug x64 and release x64. i was trying to convert that dsp file to latest sln file, or i tryed to export the makefile from vc6 and tryed to compile using that makefile using latest vc, but din't work. of course, i will send a pr if once my atempt is successfull, that is if i compiled to 64 bit, that is when i get it working with latest vs2019.

Hello,

While it could be possible to compile it for 64-bit, I think we'd need to write a bridge, since the IBM TTS files aren't 64-bit.

I do agree though that if this could happen you could reach more users.

Thanks,

Brandon

Basically the way you'd have to do this is create a 64-bit DLL that exports the same functions, but just runs a 32-bit executable with command line parameters that specifies what DLL function to call, and somehow pipes the speech back to the host.

For an example of software that's done this, JAWS for Windows' FSSynth32.exe is a bridge for the Eloquence support.

btman16 commented 2 years ago

Hello,

As for that, I think FSSynth32.exe is not only responsible for Eloquence, but also powers the SAPI5X (32-bit) SAPI support.

I believe you could confirm this by having JAWS use the SAPI5 IBMTTS and restarting JAWS, but I could be wrong.

Thanks,

Brandon

This is incorrect. JAWS does SAPI5 through raw COM objects.

btman16 commented 2 years ago

Hi,

Is that for 32 bit?

Wouldn't it somehow have to bridge if you use the 64 bit JAWS?

Thanks,

Brandon

@datajake1999

hello. Do you have any update? You have left this project abandoned for 3 years and it should be time to get new updates.
