**************************************************** ******** Thank you for chosing Voices Galore ******* **************************************************** (version 1.1) ************************************* **** THIS IS A SHAREWARE PROGRAM **** ************************************* In order for this program to work correctly you will need to install all the files contained in the .zip file into a directory called "Euphoria" and associated subdirectories. The program "vgset1v1.exe" will do this for you as well as set up a Voices Galore program group in Program Manager. To execute this program either run it from the Program Manager File Menu or "double click" on "vgset1v1.exe" in File Manager *** RUNNING THE PROGRAM *** You can then run Voices Galore in the usual manner from Windows or by executing vgalore1.exe which will be found in the "euphoria" directory. Operation of the program should be self explanatory. After beginning the program you simply have to "click" on the panel which says "Click here to start". You will then need to chose a male or female voice, followed by the type of sound event or voice you wish to change. You will then see a list of available choices. Chose one and the "Play" and "Install" buttons will become enabeled. You can then listen to the voice or sound with the "Play" button, and if you wish to install it, simply hit the "Install" button. You should hear a voice which says "sound installation complete". That's all there is to it. You can install one type of voice right after another simply by chosing male or female and then the type of sound or voice event. This program has been tested on a number of different machines. The most common problem we have found is an out of memory problem for some audio drivers. If you develop such a problem first try and shut down all other programs you are using under windows. Occasionally you might just have to re-attempt the operation (playing the chosen voice file). Voices files tend to be large and the OLE that allows this program to function can sometimes be slow, especially on 386 machines. If you run into any other problems with either installation or operating this program, we have not seen them and would appreciate you making us aware of them. If you are running this program unders Windows 3.1, it might be necessary for you to add the code c:\dos\share.exe to your autoexec.bat file. If you are experiencing problems, try this as well. Also, this version of the program does not come with vbrun300.dll. This .dll should be in your c:\windows\system directory or in the c:\euphoria directory for this program to run. Voices Galore will send you 8 new voices for any bugs you discover (as well as debugged software). Please let us know the following about your set up if you encounter a bug. 1. Type of computer 2. Processor (386, 486, Pentium, etc.) 3. Clock Speed (33mhz, 60mhz, etc.) 4. Sound Card 5. Copy of config.sys 6. Copy of autoexec.bat If you enjoy this program, please send in your registration form which will be found under "Register" in the Voices Galore Program Group. This not only allows you to get additional voices for Voices Galore but also future upgrades. ************************************ *** THIS PROGRAM IS NOT FREEWARE *** ************************************ This program should not be used beyond a 30 day trial period without registration and payment of appropriate funds as detailed on the registration form.
