1 Be sure to have some unzip utility handy.

2 Retrieve the landh.zip file (2MB) from http://www.naughter.com/download/landh.zip.

3 Create the following directories:
(<WindowsDir> is by default C:\Windows.)
<WindowsDir>\LHSP\
<WindowsDir>\LHSP\Language\
<WindowsDir>\LHSP\Datafile\
<WindowsDir>\LHSP\G2p\

4 Place the files from landh.zip in their directories as follows:
<WindowsDir>
LHSP\
TTSMGR32.DLL
TTSDCT32.DLL
Language\
ENG_U232.DLL
Datafile\
ENG_USA2.C22
G2P\
ENG_UL32.DLL

5 If you are running Windows NT, Windows 2000, Windows XP and Windows 2003, you must add the directory <WindowsDir>\LHSP to the PATH in the system environment. bring up the ‘System’ control panel applet, select the Advanced tab, click the ‘Environment Variables’ button and add the path to the ‘PATH’ system variable. Notpad when now run should be able to speak to you.

6 Under Windows Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows 98 SE and Windows ME, you must add the <WindowsDir>\LHSP directory to the path in the autoexec.bat file. If you don’t know what an autoexec.bat file is or do not know how to update the path in it, then simply email me your autoexec.bat file and I will make the changes for you. After a reboot of your computer, Notpad should now be able to speak to you!.
