Hi there,
I hope you guys had nice week, Its Saturday wasn't working but
when I was having bath and thought of doing something interesting
then I was working during the week on text to speech and thought of
doing simplest and smallest code for text to speech. I'll go
through in step by step in below section:
Step 1: Just create
website.
Step 2: In the website
just creates one page or you will already have default.aspx in side it, we have to
create on text box in which person can write any text, also a
button to click once you finish entering text and it will enable
windows speech libraries. Please write following code to start with
inside default.aspx.
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml">
<head>
<title>Text to speach</title>
</head>
<body>
<form id="form1" runat="server">
<div>
<asp:TextBox ID="txtspeech" runat="server"></asp:TextBox>
<br />
<asp:Button ID="clickToSpeech" runat="server" Text="Speech" OnClick="clickToSpeech_Click" />
</div>
</form>
</body>
</html>
Step 3: Right click to
solution explorer of the visual studio and add reference of
SpeechLibrary. In the reference dialog box select the COM tab and
add the "Microsoft Speech Object
Library" and click ok. Now you will see in the references
folder of your solution explorer "SpeechLib".
Step 4: And in code behind
of Default.aspx
which is Default.aspx.cs
file, copy the following code.
using System;
using SpeechLib;
namespace Text_to_speech
{
public partial class _Default : System.Web.UI.Page
{
protected void clickToSpeech_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
SpVoice objspeach = new SpVoice();
objspeach.Speak(txtspeech.Text.Trim(), SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
objspeach.WaitUntilDone(System.Threading.Timeout.Infinite);
}
}
}
Step 5: Now run the
code
And enter the text that you want and hit speech then you will
listen the text
It was good weekend day for me to write little bit of brief
explanation of text to speech.
