Yes, Monolog is quite good, but its documentation is not.
I used the DLL in one of my projects, but do not know how to set
English/Sounds-like mode. Can anyone on the net help me with this, or
just give me a hint where I can find more detailed documentation for
Monolog.

The manual that came with the monolog mentioned
there is a professional version of Monolog called Provoice for Windows
Developer's Toolkit, but how can I get it?

Thanks in advance.
