[amibroker] Re: Any recommedation on improving text-to-speech.

["mmqp" <mmqp@xxxxxxxxx>]

THanks for information.  Could you be a bit more specific as I am not 
familiar with all the step?

- I would go to suggested site and purchase which software?
- I would install it on my laptop.
- How would I tell AB to use this new driver.

TIA.
