Why do we have this?

We have this download available for you because we believe that the default soundpack (non-Text-to-Speech) doesn't give you enough information; whereas the default text-to-speech soundpack gives you a little too much information; who really cares that John Doe is switching from Channel A to Channel B when you are in Channel C; it just fills your ears with useless information (I suppose it might be useful for a blind person maybe).

Do you like the Ventrilo Text-to-speech?

If so this soundpack is for you. We've designed it specifically to mimic the default Ventrilo Text-to-Speech.

How do I install this soundpack?

Read the included readme. If that doesn't answer your question feel free to post in our forums.]]> Tue, 16 Feb 2010 12:59:47 +0000 523
