Microsoft Agent Test Page
Requirements for this page:
- Microsoft Internet Explorer 4.0 or later
- This page uses VBScript, so scripting must be enabled in your browser.
Click the button below to display your system's default Agent character. If Microsoft Agent is not installed or if a default Agent character is not assigned, there will be a delay as the "Merlin" character is downloaded.
This also requires the TruVoice text-to-speech (TTS) engine. If this component is not installed on your system, you should have been prompted to install it before this page was displayed. If you declined the prompt, refresh the page and click Yes to install the TTS engine.
Your system passed the test if, after clicking the button, you were able to see and hear an Agent character. Follow a link to the left to download the Demo Version or purchase the licensed version of Sound-Proof 2000. .
Notes:
- Sound-Proof 2000 supports all Microsoft Agent characters. Merlin is just one of many characters that are available. For proofreading purposes, some characters have better voices than others.
- Sound-Proof 2000 also includes a "minimal" character that consists only of a moving LED display -- no sound effects or animations. The SoundProof Agent character may be more appropriate in some office environments.
- Sound-Proof 2000 provides several customization options, so you can fine-tune the voice to meet your needs. Features include customizable voice pitch, speed, and delay between cells.
- Displaying the text balloon is optional.
