Memo text to speech through 16 bit soundblaster Card

Hi

I have a sound blaster(16 bit) sound card installed.I want to develop
a sound application where by clicking the text contents of a memo should
be read aloud by the computer( in speech form) something akin to Voicetext of Soundblaster
application.
I read an article for such a purpose.But it reqired a sound blaster
dll called Fb_spch.dll which i could not find it in my sound blaster CD.
Can any one suggest an alternative or give the location of Fb_spch.dll
I promise to send the code of the application(after awarding the points too)
Regards

There are several other ways, but I'd recommend using SAPI, because it's the core technology of MS AGENT, which is very strongly pushed by ms. It is one of the best quality engines available (apart from Dragon and IBM's)
If you want to use text to speech just on your creative lab's card, you can use creative's own speech developers kit ( Available separately) but you need to translate the C headers to Delphi yourself.(And it is of far lesser quality)
