I have developed a TTS (text to speech) app in C# using SAPI 5.x. I would like to license or develop my own speech profile (or voice file) that will exclusively be available to my application.
That is, it will not be installed in the same way regular SAPI voices are installed because I do not want other TTS applications to be able to use the voice AND I do not want users to be able to select the custom voice in their system's control panel.
Is it possible? Currently I use SpeechSynthesizer.SelectVoice("Microsoft Anna"); but what I need is to somehow use the SelectVoice to use my own "private" voice file that gets installed alongside my app.
Thank you for any advice or help on this topic.
