[mary-users] Using Mary voice in Window application

[Marc Schroeder]

Claudio, Alexander,

indeed, there is no SAPI support coming with MARY TTS yet. I agree that 
the approach sketched by Alexander sounds like the way to go.

If you are working on this, I'd be happy to know about it -- and if you 
get it to work and are willing to release the result as open source, we 
should talk about integrating it into a future MARY release.

Best regards,
Marc
