Acknowledgement
    Special thanks to Professor Fang Zhigang for his invaluable spiritual support and innovative suggestions, as well 
as his life philosophy which will probably have fundamental impact on my life (including some principles that I don't
agree, at least at the moment).

Installation
1.Make sure you have installed Directx8 for higher. If not, download it from Microsoft Website:

2.Download evaluation version of ViaVoice TTS runtime engine(TTS! NOT just "ViaVoice") from IBM's partner:

  You can choose from Chinese, U.S.English and UK.English
3.[Optional]You can download ViaVoice TTS SDK Evaluation Edition if you want to learn more about ViaVoice TTS
3.[Optional]Download free A3D 3.0 SDK. (I'm not sure whether I can include it in my distribution of SDI leagally, so I
  leave it to you)
4.Double-click on setup.bat to register A3D component.(If you have installed A3D 3.0 SDK, this registration process is not
  compulsory).
5.Done. You can check if everything is OK by running the sample programme.

Notes
0.Please use high-quality earphone or speaker. Earphone is better.
1.SDI was developed under VC6, so you'd better compile it using VC6, too.
2.Make sure eci.h, ia3dapi.h, sdi.h are in the same directory, and a3dapi.dll, ibmeci.dll, sdi32.dll in the same
  directory with your application.
3.Be sure to link with sdi32.lib
4.[Important] Because  a evaluation version of ViaVoice TTS SDK is used, it may has a 90-day trial period.
        Although A3D is Royalty-Free, it doesn't mean you(and I) can use it at your(and my) will.
        So Please read the License of ViaVoice TTS SDK and A3D3.0 SDK.

Enjoy!
