[python-win32] SAPI COM server

[Jannie Kakpraat]

Hi,

I'm trying to implement a SAPI com server in order to connect to a in-house
developed TTS Engine.
I have read chapter 5 and 12 of the book, but I am still struggling. My
understanding is that I can
load and register the sapi tbl file, and then just specify that my class is
implementing the ISpTTSEngine and
ISpObjectWithToken com interfaces as follows:
_com_interfaces_ = ["ISpObjectWithToken", "ISpTTSEngine"]

I have registered my server with a CLSID, but when I test it through SAPI
it never even gets called. I tested my class through com client that I
implemented and then it works fine.

Can anybody please point me to what I'm missing.


Thank you.

Have you selected your engine as the default TTS engine in the Speech
applet of Control Panel?

Well no. I select a voice that I have registered in the registry that
points to the CLSID of the python win32com dll loader,
which to my understanding should then load my class. That is the way I
understand SAPI works and how I got it to work
with my C implementation.

My class as is can be seen on pastebin here: http://pastebin.com/MeEMycp4
