Do you mind if a I get a little Sapi with you?

Note: make sure to "turn on" the LuaCOM plugin (AMS 6)

VoiceObj = luacom.CreateObject("Sapi.SpVoice")

speaktext1 = "<rate speed='-20'><emph>I can talk so so slow.<emph>"

speaktext2 = "<rate speed='3'><emph>Or I can talk really fast!<emph>"

VoiceObj:Speak(speaktext1)

VoiceObj:Speak(speaktext2)

Application.Exit()

it works on Version 5 too.

Nice---O, Intrigued...
Any way to change voices etc? Can you point me to a site with details on that?

Thanks

Per AMS 5, it does (work with it), folks just need to make sure they have downloaded and installed (then "turned on") the plugin.

And I did find information for more voices. TJ-TIGGER also played with this, I'm not sure if his post contains a link to the other voices or not. I did run across how to use th voices but this morning I have to run off to work. I'll check later unless 'TIG has such ready to go?

Hi,

Simple 3 line script with amazing feat you shared with us. Potentially useful for blind computer users and pre-schoolers. Great piece Intrigue.

I placed it at the Scripts Module as a .lua and called using "require". Its very fast. Will use it as a program start and time trigger for now.

Is there any version other than English or we have to mess around chunks of English syllables into foreign sound?

[Intrigued]

For part one that's what I was thinking (speech tool of sorts).

And for the second part about other languages... I have not delved that far into such. But, that is something that could use a good checking out.

i used this before in conjunction with MS AGENT. it would work pretty good as a learning tool for preschool kids. i'll look around as see if i can find the scripts. Its easy to figure out. i got most of it from Worm i think.

YEA! That's it. i used that project and added it to a Quiz program I was working on (still messing with the automation of Excel with LUACOM). i'll see if i can find the scripts i was using to make SAPI work with MS AGENT. it's very simple. (its the only thing i've been able to get working right with LUACOM)

Thanks Intrigued!

here is a link to download some different languages for SAPI.

or go to Microsofts site for a larger selection of languages. http://www.microsoft.com/msagent/downloads/user.asp
