--- Comment #14 from Anastasius Focht <focht at gmx.net> ---
Hello folks,

this issue should not be recycled for '{96749377-3391-11d2-9ee3-00c04f797396}'
as suggested by comment #4.

This would automatically result in a dupe of bug 18104 ("Multiple TTS
applications using Microsoft SAPI runtime report 'Speech engine not installed'
(CLSID_SpVoice '{96749377-3391-11D2-9EE3-00C04F797396}')(Final Draft,
TactileView, Vocaboly 3.0)").

The original issue was a problem with Winetricks 'speechsdk' verb being
insufficient due to the addition of builtin 'sapi.dll' with Wine 2.18.
It was fixed in Winetricks -> upstream = NOTOURBUG. It makes sense to track it
on both sides, Wine and Winetricks tracker.

https://github.com/austin987/winetricks/commit/84b50038f090ec262d6cdb48ed7940033883c9a6
("speechsdk: wine-2.18 ships a stub sapi.dll, work around it")

BTW the 'speechsdk' verb is still not really proper. You can't set the Windows
version back to default 'Windows 7'. SAPI 5.1 doesn't exist on Windows Vista+
or later because it's shipped as part of OS.

* SAPI 5.3 = shipped with Windows Vista
* SAPI 5.4 = shipped with Windows 7 or later

There are apps that check the Windows version and automatically assume SAPI 5.3
or later. I've tracked/analyzed one of these in bug 48919 ("Balabolka (TTS app)
reports SAPI Error Code 0x80045004 since Wine 2.18 with native SAPI 5.1 via
'winetricks -q speechsdk'").

Regards
