Text to Speech
 |
I just want a simple text-to-speech facility. I just want a digit to be spoken. I'm sure it can be done with an OCX. Could play a wav file, but want this ability within an exe.

Microsoft Agent API ? Where can I find it ? And how do I use it ? Just want to pass, say, 6 to a control, and hear it say six.

I've done this..... it requires the microsoft text-to-speech control. The package (if you google, you should be able to find it) has controls to go in both directions (text to speech, so the computer can talk to you, and voice recognition, so you can talk to it, and it can respond).

This may be a little off topic, but a cool project would be to take one of those chatterbots and modify it to take speech and speak in return

I've done that..... it didn't uh, work as well as one would hope. I always thought a slick thing to do would be to build an IRC client where you can tag a user.... and then when they are tagged, whatever they type will spoken (text2speech) through the speakers..... This way you don't have to flip back and forth all the time.

No offense, but that's one of the most useless suggestions I've ever heard.
If you keep this up, I'm going to deem you a troll, and ban you.
