Hi everyone,
Today i am going to show how to make your program speak...
You need
1 Label (name it "Enter the text to be spoken")
2 buttons (button "Speak" and button 2 "Hello")
1 Text Box

Add this code to the bottm of Public Class Form1

Code: Select all

Dim SAPI = CreateObject("SAPI.spvoice")

Now add the following code to Button 1

Code: Select all

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SAPI.speak(TextBox1.Text)
End Sub

Now add the following code to Button 2

Code: Select all

Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
SAPI.speak("Hello")
End Sub

Thank you Codenstuff and thankyou friends

Regards
Shahbaz

You can also do this by referencing System.Speech.Synthesis:

Code: Select all

        Dim ss As SpeechSynthesizer = New SpeechSynthesizer()
        ss.Rate = 1 'speed
        ss.Volume = 100
        ss.SpeakAsync("test")

how does yours work mandai how can you do the code

[mandai]

How do you do what? Just add the .Net System.Speech reference to your project, put this code in one of your events and import the System.Speech.Synthesis namespace.

how would i change the volume, speed, voice, etc. (in the SAPI Variable)?

Check out http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library ... S.85).aspx
There are volume, rate and voice properties that you can change.

Can you add some other language to it ? For example, have a combobox with languages, and select for example France... so it can read the like France does ;) I think you understand me ! it speaks the with English gramer !
