First of all thank you for your time and effort trying to sort this thing 
out.
I used your sample (The complete code is attached here) but still no joy 
(Same error E_INVALIDARG).
I needed to modify the voice creation from CLSCTX_LOCAL_SERVER to CLSCTX_ALL 
as otherwise it would not work. Now it plays though the speaker but then 
fails with E_INVALIDARG in the SPBindToFile.


As for the compile errors:
As you can see I already had to define the two GUID SPDFID_Text and 
SPDFID_WaveFormatEx with some bogus values. Those GUID are declared as 
EXTERN_C in sapi.h and I have no idea where (and with what) they should be 
declared.

Sure I could go now through all *.h files and complete the missing 
declarations, some of them are variables, some of them are functions (IE 
_RPT1).

But to do so I would need to understand the whole code and to be quite 
honest this is beyond my competence. All I wanted is to use (not redevelop) 
SAPI im my application.
If I have to modify half of the provided Borland *.h files then this is not 
worth it and I go back to the OCX. This is rather disappointing.
OK I am exagerating a little here, but this is why I asked the question if 
someone has successfully implemented SAPI (all functions, not only 
Speak("Hello world")) and BCB.
I can not imagine that everybody had to rewrite half of the provided *.h 
files (again exagerating).
