Can I use SAPI 4 on Windows 7?

The problem with SAPI 5 is that I can't find any free Portuguese (Brazilian) voices; plus, I need to distribute the speech engine along with my program, so the paid alternatives would be way too much expensive. Is there any way that I can use and distribute the SAPI 4 engine and voices and make it work in Windows Vista and Windows 7?

You are not allowed to re-distribute SAPI. Installing it anyway is very likely to destroy the OS configuration, disabling all other programs that use SAPI. – Hans Passant Aug 31 '10 at 14:10 You are allowed to redistribute SAPI; Microsoft makes redistributable merge modules that you can include in your install module.

Your larger point is still valid, however; installing SAPI 4 on Windows 7 will not work, and might corrupt the SAPI 5.3 installation already present. – Eric Brown Aug 31 '10 at 18:27.

I cant really gove you an answer,but what I can give you is a way to a solution, that is you have to find the anglde that you relate to or peaks your interest. A good paper is one that people get drawn into because it reaches them ln some way.As for me WW11 to me, I think of the holocaust and the effect it had on the survivors, their families and those who stood by and did nothing until it was too late.
