Using 16K TTS Engine and Voice

we currently have Release 8.1.2. We have created a C# program using the gateway. i wanted to use a better voice than the MS win7 one. The instructions said we had to use 8khz voices. I accidently downloaded a 16khz one. After installing it i noticed it was 16khz, but saw that it did list in the gateway. So I tried a quick test (pressing the test voice button) and it seemed to work fine. Does Release 8.1.2 now work with 16khz voice files?

It looks like the TTS you installed supports both 8K and 16K voices even though its native format is 16K. Some engines, including the MS one, support different output format. If it works, then go ahead and use it.
