My text to speech program

Hi everybody!:wave:

I'm building a text to speech program in VB.
Since it's for Swedish sounds, my program builds a playlist with the letters...so I don't use any Microsoft API or something like that...

My problem is that it takes a second between every letter...this is because it takes a second to load the sound file for each letter...:(

What should I do???:confused:

I've attached the project, plz take a look at it! :)

I cant add the form to the project (I think it's a issue because you programmed it in VB5 & I am using VB6)

It seems good, I suggest you use directsound to play the files so that there is no delay

how do I do that?

(and I'm also programming in VB6...)

I don't really use direct sound, just search around for DirectSound & you will find some code & tutorials to help you.

I would hardly call it text-to-speech when you have 30 mp3's playing a letter through Windows Media Player. Why can't you use the normal text-to-speech, Xvoice.dll? ;)

It shouldn't matter if its VB5 it will open with VB6. There are a few problems opening Form1. :sick:

Yeah, weird Form1 problem.

I think he isn't using xvoice.dll because he wants it to speak in swedish.

that's right...I'm using the Windows Media Player control.

Have you tried using DirectSound to play the files without a pause?

how do you do that? please send me an example.

I don't have any examples on my computer atm, but you could search pscode.com for DirectSound and I'm sure you will find plenty of examples to help you out
