Translator with Sound/Speech

[Max187Boucher]

Here is a little word translation sample i would like people to have.. if you have any questions feel free to ask. you can also download the sounds/speech, ask me how if you need and i will show you how

i only used textbox and mine does not display (chinese,arabic...) languages its shows up as ?????... if you need other languages i would recommend switch to other types of control that will support other languages such as "Microsoft Forms 2.0 Object Library" (or other controls)

Speech translation will work however, even if it does not display correctly in textbox

anyways here is a working translator with sound


***Additional*** Example of how to get speech/sound status

Private Sub Command1_Click()
WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=" & GetLanguage(cmbTo) & "&q=" & ieGoogle.document.getElementById("result_box").innertext
ChangeStatus "Loading Speech/Audio...."
Do Until WindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = wmppsPlaying
  DoEvents
Loop
ChangeStatus "Playing Speech/Audio..."
Do Until WindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = wmppsStopped
  DoEvents
Loop
ChangeStatus "Ready"
End Sub

Private Sub Command2_Click()
WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=" & GetLanguage(cmbFrom) & "&q=" & txtTranslate.Text
ChangeStatus "Loading Speech/Audio...."
Do Until WindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = wmppsPlaying
  DoEvents
Loop
ChangeStatus "Playing Speech/Audio..."
Do Until WindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = wmppsStopped
  DoEvents
Loop
ChangeStatus "Ready"
End Sub

Private Sub cmdTranslate_Click()
On Error Resume Next
  Command1.Enabled = True
  Command2.Enabled = True
  txtResult.Enabled = True
  txtResult.Text = ieGoogle.document.getElementById("result_box").innertext
  
  ChangeStatus "Preparing Speech/Audio...."
  
  WindowsMediaPlayer1.URL = "http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?ie=UTF-8&tl=" & GetLanguage(cmbFrom) & "&q="
  
  Do Until WindowsMediaPlayer1.playState = wmppsReady
    DoEvents
  Loop
  ChangeStatus "Ready"
End Sub

******FOR UNICODE SUPPORT******
Download free unicode controls - EditControls
Install
Replace original txtResult with the new TimoSoft EditControls 1.8 (or earlier version)
Make sure it is Multiline = True

here you go with full language support and full sound support!!

i got a free control that has a Unicode Textbox Control!! for anyone who is interested or need Unicode
you only need to change the textbox "txtResult" with this Edit Controls Textbox

it will now have full support of ALL languages i tried and it works 100% please have a look it will save you alot of work and it is free nd you can distribute it also
i did not supply it with my translator because i do not want to add more files to it... instead i gave you the link just download it and install it then you can use free controls that supports Unicode and make my translator support all language have fun!

Tis is wonderful.
it does support Arabic as well.
the reason Arabic letters appear as ????? in some PC's is that they don have Arabic language installed properly.
it gets both translation and pronunciation.

Thanks for the replies.

Thanks for letting me know it supports arabic if it installed properly on system.

For those who does not have arabaic (or other language) not installed try the Unicode EditControl i gave the link to

Anymore comments/replies or bugs is appreciated
