problem with text to speech

[Him]

I found this script in this forum but $oSp.LanguageID = DEC(0409) don't work.

The full script is:

$Text = InputBox("Text", "Type text to say", "")

$oSp = ObjCreate("SAPI.SpVoice")

$oSp.LanguageID = DEC(0409) ;hex 0409 is english...

$oSp.Speak($Text)

I get the message:

the requested action with that object has failed

but it works when:

$Text = InputBox("Text", "Type text to say", "")

$oSp = ObjCreate("SAPI.SpVoice")

$oSp.Speak($Text)

Anybody can help? I want to use $oSp.LanguageID = DEC(408) ;hex 408 is greek...

Try this:

$oSp.LanguageID = 0x0409 ;hex 0409 is english...

not tested, only idea.

Well, it doesn't work either.

I think that something's wrong with the command:

$oSp.LanguageID = Dec(0x0409)

Any ideas?

You use Dec for strings like Dec("0x0409")

Just use LanguageID = 1033.

What is the link to MSDN to find info about SAPI engine?

Can anyone tell me how to change the language?

It doesn't work. Try it yourself to get an idea.

Without that 'languageID' part the script runs exellent.

On the other hand, with that 'languageID' part working, it would be better...

Happy xmas...

I didn't say it would work, I was pointing that out to Zedna, in fact, I said it was wrong.
