Do I need to do anything to install Microsoft Agent?
Microsoft Agent is installed as standard on Windows XP and Windows 2000. Under Windows 2000 speech engines are also included. If you are running an earlier operating system, you can get Microsoft Agent by using the button below.
Why doesn't the agent speak on my system?
Microsoft agent requires SAPI 4.0, which is available from the Microsoft Agent website. In addition, the agent cannot speak if another application is using the sound card. You will also need to install a speech engine on most systems. You can download these from the preceding link as well.
How can I find out more about Microsoft Agent?
Microsoft provides free downloads from www.microsoft.com/msagent. It includes support for different speech engines, and other characters.
Where can I get other characters
There are many Agent characters available on the web, and www.msagentring.org/chars.htm seems to list quite a few. The offical Microsoft agent characters are also available from their website, or by clicking the buttons below. Save the file to your disk, and after the download is complete, open the folder, and run the program.
