Re: What do I need to install to use vbscripting

Hello

it's been a while since I played with text-to-speech engine which now has
been replaced by SAPI but here are a couple of links that might help you
find what you are looking for.

You can go to
http://www.microsoft.com/speech/speech2007/default.mspx to read more about
Speech technologies

and go to
http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms723627.aspx
To get to know the application interface.

You will have to look for speech engines to find one that give you a
different voice and/or language. The old version of text-to-speech had many
by Lernout & Hauspie (I&H) but I do not think those are compatible with SAPI

As for VBScript, you can get the latest script engine at
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=C717D943-7E4B-4622-86EB-95A22B832CAA&displaylang=en


Hope this helps.

I have a SpeakClipBoard.vbs as follows:
[
Set ISpeechVoice = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")

'read from clipboard
Set oIE = WScript.CreateObject("InternetExplorer.Application")
oIE.navigate "about:blank"
ISpeechVoice.Speak
oIE.document.parentWindow.clipboarddata.getData("text"), SPF_DEFAULT
Set oIE = Nothing

]

This speech script works fine on my machine [Windows XP Home Edition].
What 'installed software' on my machine enables this script to run.
And what might i need to (check for and) install on someone else's machine
to enable this script to run.

Also, how can I select different voices, programatically?
For instance, Select "Sam" or "Female Spanish".?

Thanks in advance!
