SAPI problem in CE.NET 4.2

Hi,

I have successfully built and run CE.NET 4.2 image with SAPI components on a XScale PXA255 platform. When I compiled (MS eVC 4.0) and ran the SPEAKexample provided in platform builder speeck SDK samples directory, the following TTS call returned error:

wcscpy( wcBuff, L"This is a simple sample sentence." );
hr = cpVoice->Speak(wcBuff, 0, NULL);

hr is returned as a negative integer. I checked the processes on the CE.NET 4.2 device and saw the following processes were running:

sapisvr.exe
sapi.dll

I already have struggled on this for weeks. If anyone can help me to get TTS and SR working on my CE.NET 4.2 device, I am more than happy to pay your time and effort.

I can be reached at swang@predictsys.com.

I suspect that the problem is that you do not have a TTS engine. Microsoft
does not own an embedded TTS engine so we can't ship one with Windows CE.
There are vendors that can provide you with such a TTS engine.

For looking up specific error codes, you can look for the file sperror.h,
which lists the SAPI error codes. On my machine it is at
...\public\speech\sdk\inc.
