Christopher Blue Posted October 16, 2007 Share 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 Posted October 16, 2007 Share 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted October 16, 2007 Share 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 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share Posted October 16, 2007 It works well but I am curious, are there options to customize the voice? Like tone, pitch, and speed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JustinReno Posted October 16, 2007 Share 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 Posted October 16, 2007 Author Share 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? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
