    Question Text to speech on Windows

    Would it be possible to write a C or C++ application that would call the Microsoft Speech application passing it a text string that the Speech application would convert to sound and "speak" that text?
    If so what would the call to the Speech application look like?

    Get Microsoft Visual C++ Express here or CodeBlocks here.
    Get STLFilt here to radically improve error messages when using the STL.
    Get these two can't live without C++ libraries, BOOST here and Loki here.
    Check your code with the Comeau Compiler and FlexeLint for standards compliance and some subtle errors.
    Always use [code] code tags [/code] to make code legible and preserve indentation.
    Do not ask for help writing destructive software such as viruses, gamehacks, keyloggers and the suchlike.

    Re: Text to speech on Windows

    Good idea. Perhaps, i should work this project during my final year. Do you have the same library which is .net or open source ?

    Thanks.
    Thanks for your help.

    There is a .net version. I dont use .net so know very little about it other than it exists but there should be plenty of documentation on MSDN.
