Hi Jim, I'm using the Windows 7 Platform SDK. The SAPI 5 SDK was discontinued and rolled into newer versions of the Windows Platform SDK which makes sense.
Anyway, for some reason every time I try to do something like g_voice->Rate = 5; in C++ it gives me an error. However, it works fine in C# .NET and VB .NET. That said, there is an alternative way to change rate, pitch, and volume in newer versions of SAPI. Versions of SAPI 5.3, 5.4, and 5.5 now use SML tagging to control the rate, pitch, and volume on the fly like g_voice->Speak(<ABSOLUTE_RATE=5>"Hello world!", SVSFlagsAsync, 0); which works fine if a person is running Windows Vista, Windows 7, or Windows 8, but isn't available on Windows XP and earlier. So that is why I chose to use the Control Panel. :D Cheers!
