Christopher Blue 0 Posted October 16, 2007 I am making a script and I want to have to provide feedback with text-to-voice. While making sound files for a few bits of feedback would be feasible, I would rather have some sort of text-to-voice system so that the feedback can be very flexible.

crzftx 0 Posted October 16, 2007 if you want Windows to read text, ask JustinReno. I believe I have seen more than one application of his where he uses Window's blind people resources to read things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinReno 0 Posted October 16, 2007 (edited) Yes, ok. I LOVE speech/TTS WINXP or higher needed to run TTS, or lower OS's then you would have to use sound files, and I might suggest using the AT&T Mike TTS voice, search it, you can enter what you want, and it will save it into a file ready to download. Put this part at the top of your script: Global $Speech = ObjCreate("SAPI.SpVoice")oÝ÷ Øû¶¬j|°z·²¢ìܨºÇ+m¢Ö¥ëÞ)ߺw-ìjëh×6$Speech.Speak("Hello!")

Christopher Blue 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Thanks JustinReno, I will try out that code in my new script. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Christopher Blue 0 Posted October 16, 2007 It works well but I am curious, are there options to customize the voice? Like tone, pitch, and speed? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JustinReno 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Yeah, I think so, I think it was Manadar who posted something like that, search it, I don't think I have that script but I think you could use these: $Speech.Pitch $Speech.Volume $Speech.Speed I'm not sure if those work but you can try them.

Christopher Blue 0 Posted October 16, 2007 Aye there is a .Volume and .Rate I have been able to configure. Now only if I could get a decent voice synth. Is it true that MS Vista has good text-to-voice built it? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
