Demonstration Data-Bases

At the moment there are no demonstration data-bases distributed which demonstrate Speech Pack. With earlier versions AddresSpeech was included but its designer, Kyle Smith, no longer works on it and decided to stop support for it.

Perhaps in the future you may find another demonstration data-base called Voice Module written by Philippe Giraud on the net. This 4D 3.0 data-base shows a more sophisticated and enhanced way to implement a lot of features of Speech Pack into your own data-base. Lots of global procedures and layouts ready to copy into your data-base. But it isn't finished yet because Philippe has not much time available.

During development of AddresSpeech and Voice Module some questions and needed features surfaced and were implemented with Speech Pack, so it was useful for developing the external package as well.

If you want to write a data-base which shows the use of Speech Pack you can expect full support from me, including future beta-versions. In order to receive permission to include Speech Pack with any publically available demonstration data-base you need to contact me.
A specially prepared version of Speech Pack can be installed and distributed with demonstration data-bases, so that when someone moves the external to another data-base it will show a warning and refuse to work. That copy has been set up to work only with the demo data-base you get it with. To use Speech Pack with your own data-base you would then need to obtain the normally distributed version of Speech Pack.
All this is done to make sure the documentation is always included with the external code itself, without the need to include the full documentation with the demo data-base. Also, there might already be a new version of Speech Pack available.

If you want to include Speech Pack with your demonstration data-base you should contact the author to obtain permission for distribution and instructions on how to install Speech Pack with your data-base.
