To use CLUSTERGEN voices under SAPI,
1. Open the "flite_sapi.sln" solution with Visual Studio.
2. Go to Build -> Batch Build
3. Choose to build FliteCMUGenericCG in Release mode for x86 and Win32.

This will create the following files:
  flite/sapi/Win32/Release/FliteCMUGenericCG_Win32.dll
  flite/sapi/x64/Release/FliteCMUGenericCG_x64.dll

In order to use these libraries, you will need to register these libraries
and use them with a flitevox file.

ASSUMPTION: Your voice file is in C:\xyz.flitevox

1. Register (regsvr32) the appropriate DLL file based on your Windows version.

2. Create registry entries for each flitevox file you would like to use.

Here is an example of registry data you need to create:
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "CLSID"; ValueData: "{{435A0515-F568-4A0A-B5A3-42844348602F}"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001"; ValueType: string; ValueData: "Flite Voice 01"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "409"; ValueData: "Flite Voice 01"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "voxdir"; ValueData: "C:\xyz.flitevox"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001\Attributes"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "Gender"; ValueData: "Male"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001\Attributes"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "Name"; ValueData: "Flite Voice 01"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001\Attributes"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "Language"; ValueData: "409;9"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001\Attributes"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "Age"; ValueData: "Adult"
"SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices\Tokens\Flite001\Attributes"; ValueType: string; ValueName: "Vendor"; ValueData: "Flite"
