Re: [Mingw-cross-env-list] Qt texttospeech

[Mark Hayden]

Thanks for the additional information and your help.

I tried copying the SAPI plugin DLL into our package from one of the Qt binary 
distributions (msvc2013_64).  The plugin seems to load correctly at runtime but 
on the machines we test, the SAPI engine reports there are 0 locales and 0 
voices.  I don’t know if the issue is in MXE, Qt, or Windows.

If anyone else has experience getting Qt TextToSpeech to work with MXE, please 
let me know.

Alternatively, if someone with the required know-how is interested in proposing 
a small paid project to add Qt TextToSpeech to MXE so that it works “out of the 
box” from MXE, please contact me directly with details of a proposal.  I hope 
it is ok to make a request like this on this mailing list, and I apologize in 
advance if not.

best, Mark
