DOWNLOAD FULL PROGRAM
There is no charge to download this full shareware version. It is functional for 21 days after which time you must purchase it or delete it from your computer.
The new Talking Caller ID V6 can function as an answering machine if you have a voice modem and are NOT using Windows NT. You can have the program answer the phone and play customized messages for each caller. Windows NT 4.0 does not include any voice modem support. Voice support was added to Windows 95/98 beginning with the Windows 95 OSR2 release.
If you have Windows 95, 98 or NT and do not have Microsoft Agent, click here to go to the install page and install Microsoft Agent before installing the program. If you have Window Me, you may still need to download the speech engine from the link above if the Microsoft Agent does not talk. The following link includes the Windows Installer program.
Note: For Windows XP, if the Microsoft Agent does not talk, please download and install the following three programs: Download English Speech Engine (1.0 MB) and Install the Microsoft SAPI 4.0a runtime binaries (824 KB exe) and Download the Speech Control Panel (927 KB exe)
After you click on the link below, I recommend that you "Save" the file to your Desktop and after it is downloaded, double click on the icon named "TcidV6fp.exe" to install it.
Download Version V6.9 for computers without Windows Installer (6.3 MB)
Note many modem drivers have an error in them preventing the caller id information from being reported in the TAPI mode. Click here for instructions on how to fix it.
If you have Windows ME, XP or 2000, please try the link below. The file below is a Microsoft Installer file named "Talking Caller ID.msi". It assumes you already have the current version of Microsoft Agent and the Windows Installer (msiexec.exe) on your computer (Windows ME and Windows 2000 come with both of these already on your computer). If you have Windows 95/98/NT, you may or may not have the Windows Installer (or the latest version required). To check to see if you have the current Windows Installer on your machine, click Installer.msi now and see if this small 80 KB file will install. Instructions on how to cancel the installation will appear on the license agreement screen. If it does install, use the following link to save download time. It can never hurt to use the link above if you are not sure. When downloading, do NOT select the option to "Run this program from it current location", it will not work. After you click on the link below, you should "Save" this program to your Desktop and after it is downloaded, double click on the icon named "Talking Caller ID.msi" to install it.

However, if you would like to install the Windows Installer on your machine manually click on one of the following links, Windows Installer for Windows 95 or 98 OR Windows Installer for Windows NT. After you have both the Windows Installer and Microsoft Agent on your computer, you can use the smaller download above.

16-bit Version
For the 16-bit version, save the file, named talkncid.zip, in an empty temporary directory. Unzip this file and then run setup.exe. If you change the default destination directory, be sure you do NOT select the same directory where the unzipped files are located (which contains setup.exe). Please read the file named readme.txt for complete installation instructions. If you do not have software to unzip this file, click here to download the dos version of pkunzip.exe. Put both pkunzip.exe and talkncid.zip in the same directory, go to a dos prompt, change to the directory containing both these files, then type pkunzip talkncid.zip. Then go back to windows and run setup.exe.
