    Oh gosh, I hate Microsoft Anna (the default Text to Speech for Vista). She talks so fast and skips many words. I miss Microsoft Sam, but I can't find out where and how to get it. It makes Ventrilo sound horrible (she talks so fast you can't hear who joined the channel). Plus, I just prefer MS sam. I'm used to it.

    Ventrilo uses TTS to tell you who joins a channel. As the admin of my clan's server, I need to know who joins to prevent any eavesdropping on the channel (the server is used for a competitive gaming clan). Anna is just too fast and skippy for me.

    Just in case you didn't know, Ventrilo (shortened as vent) is a VOIP program.
