Technical Details
Ascendis Caller ID works with voices that support Microsoft's Speech API versions 4 and 5, otherwise known as SAPI4 and SAPI5. Windows 2000 includes SAPI4, and Windows XP includes SAPI5. SAPI4 can be installed under Windows 98 (and is included in the Ascendis Caller ID TTS installer). Thus, any SAPI4 voice should work with Ascendis Caller ID in Windows 98 and Windows 2000, and any SAPI5 voice should work with Ascendis Caller ID in Windows XP. SAPI5 can be installed in Windows 2000 using this SAPI5 installer, allowing the use of SAPI5 voices on that platform.
