Microsoft SAPI in C# and Java

Microsoft SAPI is the Speech API that comes with the Speech SDK which can be downloaded from Microsoft's website. Anyhow, it's included with Visual Studio 2005+ and with the newer version of Windows. These examples were written with 5.4.

Here is a Java Example:

var voice = new ActiveXObject("SAPI.SpVoice");

voice.Speak("Microsoft Surface is cool!");

Here is a C# Example:

First reference the Speech Library

//add the code to main:

using SpeechLib;

void SpeakAsync(string x)

{

SpVoice voice = new SpVoice();

SpeechLib.SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags SpFlags =

SpeechLib.SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync;

voice.Speak(x,

SpFlags)

;

}

//To use type in main class:

SpeakAsync("I want to read this");
