text to speech

At one time I had a Text to voice engine but now for som reason it is gone. I go into the control panel open speech and when I test a voice it tells me to try another voice or audio soource. Also there is no Text Speech in my add/remove.

I've been trying to find an engine from MS but i'm doing something wrong. I have poor eyesight and this would be a blessing.

thanks for any help

There should be a text to speech runtime built in with Microsoft Office.

For now you could go to Start>All Programs>Accessories>Accessibility>Accessibility Wizard to ease things a little before you get the text to speech to start working again

 

What operating system are you running? I.E. (Windows 98, ME, 2K, XP, etc).

Do you have any Microsoft Office products installed, as Yzaraf suggested?

 

I don't have Office. I have XP Home with MS Worksuite. I used the text to speech file for a while as well as speech to text. I did go to Accessibility Wizard and went through that process but no text to speech.

Is that all you're looking for?
