I want to write a simple text to speech program.

First, I want to make the program play only the written symbol. For example, if I type ‘a’ I want the program to say ‘a’ (I have recorded all of them), so when I type a word, it should spell it.

However, I am a beginner in C# and .Net and don’t how to make the program understand the text I type. For example, in java I heard that there is a keyListener class, but I don’t know which class should I use. I looked on MSDN but couldn’t find it.

Which class or function should I use to listen to typed keys?

    I suppose you are planning to use Windows Forms to achieve this.
    The solution would be pretty simple. These events include MouseDown, MouseUp, MouseMove, MouseEnter, MouseLeave, MouseHover, KeyPress, KeyDown, and KeyUp. Each control has these events exposed. You just need to subscribe to it.

    Please refer to this

    There would be a little bit of logic to find whether a complete word has been typed or not. A simple soultion would be , when space has been pressed, you can assume a word has been completed. Its very crude logic, as the user may have typed in wrong spelling and want hit backspace and correct the spelling. You may want to add lag to it.
