Speak at start of program

Hi all,

How can I have program say "good morning" when it starts? what steps do I need for this?

Thanks

Loftty

Something like this:

VB Code:

Private Sub Form_Load()
MsgBox "Good morning"
 
'Rest of the programm
End Sub

Sorry I mean talk to me.

Thanks

Loftty

I have got it so it will say good morning but it says it in one voice is there a way where I can change the voice?

I have used this code with a refrence to Microsoft speech.

VB Code:

Option Explicit
Dim Speech As SpVoice
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
Set Speech = New SpVoice
Speech.Speak "good morning"
 
End Sub

Thanks

Loftty

This code looked very interesting loftty, but may I ask what reference you used? It's not working by the main commands of vb... :(

Microsoft speech object libary

Loftty

Use the GetVoices method to see which voices are available.
Use the Voice property to change the voice..

Could you show me the code for this please?

Thanks

Loftty

I have used this code which lists all the voices I have but when I click on one and press the button it does noy change the voice, what should I be doing here?

Thanks

Loftty

VB Code:

Option Explicit
 
Private WithEvents Speech As SpVoice
 
Private Sub Command1_Click()
 
   Speech.Speak "Good morning"
 
End Sub
 
 
Private Sub Form_Load()
 
   Set Speech = New SpVoice
   Dim Token As ISpeechObjectToken ' create a token to hold the registry voice tokens
   
   For Each Token In Speech.GetVoices
        Combo1.AddItem (Token.GetDescription())
   Next
   
   Combo1.ListIndex = 0
 
End Sub
 
Private Sub ComboBoxVoices_Click()
 
  Dim SOTokenVoice As ISpeechObjectToken 'create a SAPI token object
  Set SOTokenVoice = Speech.Voice
  'get the SAPI voice tokens out of the registry
  Set Speech.Voice = speech1.GetVoices().Item(Combo1.ListIndex)
  
End Sub

why not get a sound file off the net, which says good morning and load it using the playsound api or the windows media referance :)

Where can I get these files? and what if I wanted to say someones name?

Thanks

Loftty

If you just want to speak "Good morning" then record sound it will give yu nice sound quality

Based on what you posted, there are some errors.

VB Code:

Private Sub [b]ComboBoxVoices[/b]_Click()
 
  Dim SOTokenVoice As ISpeechObjectToken 'create a SAPI token object
  Set SOTokenVoice = Speech.Voice
  'get the SAPI voice tokens out of the registry
  Set Speech.Voice = [b]speech1[/b].GetVoices().Item(Combo1.ListIndex)
  
End Sub

ComboBoxVoices should be Combo1
Speech1 should be Speech.
