[ANN] win32-sapi 0.1.0

[Daniel Berger]

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the release of win32-sapi 0.1.0.

What is it?
===========
A simple OLE wrapper for the MS Sound API (5.0 or later). You can
download MS SAPI at http://www.microsoft.com/speech.

This is based on the Perl module Win32::SAPI5 by Jouke Visser.

Where is it?
============
You can find it on the RAA or Rubyforge at
http://www.rubyforge.org/projects/win32utils.

Quick Example
=============
require "win32/sapi"
include Win32

SAPI5.new.speak("Shall we play a game?")

Enjoy!

20 tests, 20 assertions, 2 failures, 0 errors

This is a WindowsXP Pro system, SP1, ruby 1.8.2 (2004-07-29) [i386-mswin32]

I ran my own test from within IRB, and it does, in fact, speak the
words. So it works despite the test failures. I just thought I'd let you
know.

Hi all,

I'm happy to announce the release of win32-sapi 0.1.0.

Wow, that was fast (I remember you talking about doing this while at RubyConf)!

I've got this running at work and it will be part of a monitoring
system we have by the end of the day.

Awesome stuff.

Thanks,
Chad

P.S. I got the same unit test failures that Joey reported.

I didn't forget you Joey!

I just tried this on my Win XP Pro SP1 box with SAPI 5.1 and did not
encounter this. So, either it's a SAPI 5.0 vs 5.1 issue (I'm not sure
what version you tested with), or you're missing a patch somewhere -
perhaps there was an update in win32ole.
Please try again and let me know. Thanks.
