I have an *almost* working bonzi buddy on my laptop
don't tell me not to use it because it is safe
Okay. I have it so bonzi looks like himself, and acts like himself, but doesn't talk like himself. I need to configure my computer to make "male voice #2 truvoice" the default. Right now, bonzi talks as microsoft ann. If I go to text to speech in the control panel, there is only one option - microsoft ann. I have installed sapi 4.0. The only way I can get bonzi to sound like male voice 2 is with a program that changes the voice. That needs to be run whenever I'm running bonzi.

I'll try to explain this
All I want to do is make a microsoft agent character program talk in a voice different than it already does. I need to find how to change it from microsoft ann to "male voice #2 truvoice" -
No one is going to help you I don't think. Bonzi Buddy is hated by computer people everywhere. I don't think 1 person has this on the forum except you.

In April 2007, PCWorld readers voted Bonzi Buddy 6th on a list of "the top 10 most annoying tech products". One reader is quoted as criticizing the program because it "kept popping up and obscuring things you needed to see."[5]
One of the last newspapers to write about BonziBUDDY while it was still in distribution described it as spyware and a "scourge of the Internet".[6] Another article found in 2006 on the BusinessWeek website described BonziBUDDY as "the unbelievably annoying spyware trojan horse".[7]
[edit] Adware or spyware
A number of sources identify BonziBUDDY as spyware, a claim the company disputes. An article in Consumer Reports Web Watch labels BonziBUDDY as spyware, stating that it is a Backdoor Santa in that it collects information from users. Among the activities the program is said to engage in include constantly resetting the user's web browser homepage to bonzi.com without the user's permission, prompting and tracking various information about the user, and serving advertisements.[8]
It was labeled as spyware by Consumer Reports in 2002.[8]
The Spyware Removal Database at Safer Networking states "BonziBuddy is an Internet Explorer toolbar that may change your web browser settings, change your home page, and launch pop-up advertisements while tracking your web browsing habits."[9]
Spyware Guide's entry on the program states that it is adware.[10]
Anti-virus company Trend Micro classifies the software as adware in their spyware/grayware listings, and terrible malware.[11][12] -
Then pretend it's not bonzibuddy. All I need to know is how to change the default text to speech voice to "male voice #2 truvoice"
TruVoice/Text to Speech help needed
