How to set TextToSpeek properties?

[Fox]

I'm using the MS TextToSpeek (Microsoft Voice Text) control and I was wondering how to set the talking speed, volume and so on. I found out that I can change the gender using following code, but I have no idea about the other properties:

Speak1.Select 1 'or 2

Simply set the Speed property.

TextToSpeech1.Speed = 250
TextToSpeech1.Speak "How are you today"

Do I have to download it or is it on my machine already (VB 6 ent sp4, win98 se)
Thanks for help

VBSpike, look on your computer in the Windows directory for folders named MSAgent or Speech, if they aren't there, you can download MSAgent on the Microsoft site. Search for MSAgent.

Or just search for Speech. But to save time, you can check if you have it already by going to Project > Components and seeing if you have the following items in your components list.

• Microsoft Direct Speech Recognition
• Microsoft Direct Text-To-Speech
• Microsoft Voice Telephony
• Microsoft Voice Commands
• Microsoft Voice Dictation
• Microsoft Voice Text
