*** Installation ***

If you received this version of Balabolka in a ZIP file

(for example, BALABOLKA.ZIP), you can install it as follows:

1 Unzip file to the TEMP directory

2 Select Run from the Taskbar Start menu
3 Type the full name of the file (for example, C:\TEMP\SETUP.EXE)
4 Press the Enter key, and follow the prompts

To install Balabolka in silent mode without dialogs you may use a silent
installation.
A silent installation is available by using "-silent" command-line switch.

*** Text-To-Speech Engines ***

Balabolka uses a Text-To-Speech (TTS) engine to read text files.

If you have a TTS installed, you will see a list of available
voices in the main window of Balabolka.

The program supports both SAPI 4 and SAPI 5 Text-To-Speech

Engines. SAPI 4 is an older technology, so I recommend the using
of SAPI 5.

If you are interested in some higher quality voices, please see

the help file of Balabolka.

*** Microsoft Speech Platform ***

The Microsoft Speech Platform consists of a Runtime and Runtime Languages

(engines for speech recognition and text-to-speech). There are separate Runtime
Languages for speech recognition and speech synthesis.

Use the following steps to install the Microsoft Speech Platform:

1 Uninstall any previous version of the Speech Platform Runtime from your
computer.
2 Determine whether you are using a 32-bit or 64-bit operating system.
3 Download and install the Speech Platform Runtime that matches your operating
system.
4 Download and install Runtime Languages for use with the Speech Platform.
