Question

Can someone please teach me how to create C# code that would allow my computer to speak english words that would be base on text provided by the system

Answer 1

you can try to use this code of mine.

public static class Melodie
{
    private static SpeechLib.SpVoice WomenAgent = new SpeechLib.SpVoice();

    public static void AnnounceRestrictionOfAccount()
    {
        WomenAgent.Speak("You're account has been block by the system security", SpeechLib.SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
    }

    public static void SayGoodBye()
    {
        WomenAgent.Speak("Goodbye!");
    }

    public static void WelcomeUser(User userToBeWelcomed)
    {
        string Salutation = ConstructWelcomeSpeech(userToBeWelcomed);
        WomenAgent.Speak(Salutation);
    }

    private static string ConstructWelcomeSpeech(User user)
    {
        string salutation = "Welcome ";
        if (user.Gender == "Male")
        {
            salutation += " Mr. ";
        }
        else if (user.Gender == "Female")
        {
            if (user.CivilStatus != null)
            {
                if (user.CivilStatus == "Single")
                    salutation += " Ms. ";
                else
                    salutation += " Mrs. ";
            }
        }
        salutation += user.FirstName + " " + user.LastName;
        return salutation;
    }

    public static void AnnounceMessage(string message)
    {
        WomenAgent.Speak(message);
    }
}

and you can read more about SpeechLib in MSDN.

another thing you should also include Microsoft speech lib 5.0 as a reference in you’re project. 🙂
