If you do not see or hear James now, you must download some files.  If you do not have the MSagent core files or the speech engine, you will need to download them now. See step 1.
You then will have to follow Step 3 and download the character used in the story as indicated in Step 3.  Once you have downloaded these files, refresh this page and James will tell you what to do next.   Windows XP users may have to download and install the SAPI 4 file .

 


Step 1. Downloading the MSagent core files.
This program is about 403 kb and will download quickly - according to your modem speed of course. Once you have downloaded it into the directory of your choice, just click on it to run it and it will install the agent program for you.  The file name is MSagent.exe which you may delete after set-up. if you can not hear James speaking on this Page and your automatic download does not take place then go to this Page to get all the files you need from Microsoft,
Step 2. Manual Download the speech.
The Lernout & Hauspie TruVoice Text-to-Speech (TTS) Engine provides speech output capabilities for Microsoft Agent so you can hear what the characters are saying through your sound speakers.
Download the  tv_enua.exe setup program and run it to install the TTS Engine.  You may then delete the setup program. The above page will also allow you to download the setup program.
Step 3. Finally download an agent by clicking below
Each story will be told by a different agent.  Note the character after the title of the story i.e. for the Christmas story download the agent called JAMES.  If you do not have a character the program will tell you which characters you need - come back here to download them unless they are downloaded automatically.
Once you click the download button below, just choose "run" as an option. The program will download and install in the appropriate directory. If you want to "save" instead, then downloaded James to a temporary directory, just click on the james.exe file and the agent character information will be installed in your C:/windows/msagent/chars  folder.
