Generating Speech

ajk
Hi,

Is there a way to generate speech without using the Active-X control
from MS?

We have a case where we would like a .NET app (vb.net) to generate
speech but do not want to install any programs on the client like
MSAgent.

Is this possible or do one need the active x control from MS to
achieve speech?

Hello ajk,

What controls do your mean?! SpeechAPI?!
I'm not sure if there is smth, except activex, related to SAPI in case if
you wanna spell from the web page.

Alternative solution is to use flash. But, it's the similiar "container"
approach.

aIs there a way to generate speech without using the Active-X control
afrom MS?

hi,

Yyes the speech api i.e. we need some control to say out loud numbers
that are displayed in a control. Having it as active-x causes a lot of
problems since either it must be installed previously on the client or
downloaded but then causes the normal active x issues (security
settings etc).

best would be some control/library that is a pure .net control. is
there maybe some 3rd party that sells such a module if it is not
possible using libraries from microsoft?

If it is for a windows app, use the System.Speech namespace.

If it is a web app, check out the SASDK. Only downfall is you can only use
VS 2003.
I have heard of others using the System.Speech namespace in a web app, but
haven't personally tried it myself.
