[RESOLVED] Is there a way to play more than 1 mp3 file in suscession?

[Justin M]

Good evening folks! I am working on a math program to help students review facts. I have recorded the numbers 1-100, 100 - 1000, etc.

I did this so I would not have to record each number 1,2,3 998, 999, 1000. However I have a program that shows a question in a label caption. If the question was 133 - 33, I would like the program to play the mp3 for 100, followed by 33.

Would anyone know how I can do that sort of thing?

Thanks!

I forgot to add, I record these numbers as mp3 files.

There is probably more than one way to do it. You could build a queue of MP3s to play and then iterate over it using either sync or async calls, either via ActiveMovie/DirectShow or another mechanism.

But Windows Text to Speech is getting pretty good. Take a look at this SAPI demo. Runs fine on Windows 10, without installing anything extra. Should run all the way back to XP SP3 if not earlier.

I typed numbers into the textbox and it pronounced them reasonably well.

Thank you, this is perfect!
