Getting L&H voices in VB.NET

[emari]

How can I with the TTS Control(Direct speech control) speak a paragraph with any of this Languages using the control properties?.I am not able to do it

Hi,

Never uses L&H but the Microsoft speech sdk 5.1 works. Add a reference
to the Microsoft speech object lib 5.0 in the com tab. You can download
the sdk here.

http://www.microsoft.com/speech/download/sdk51/

This example assumes you have a textbox named txtspeak, and button
named btnsay

Dim tts As SpeechLib.SpVoi ce

Private Sub Form1_Load(ByVa l sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles MyBase.Load
tts = New SpeechLib.SpVoi ce
btnSay.PerformC lick()
End Sub

Private Sub btnSay_Click(By Val sender As System.Object, ByVal e As
System.EventArg s) Handles btnSay.Click
tts.Speak(txtSp eak.Text,
SpeechLib.Speec hVoiceSpeakFlag s.SVSFlagsAsync )
End Sub

I can get 4 voices in sapi 5.1 (mary,mike,sam and another one) what I do not know is how to get the T&H engines
for the other four the code comes in the sdk.Here it is
Dim WithEvents Voice As SpeechLib.SpVoi c
' Creates the voice object firs
Voice = New SpeechLib.SpVoi c
Dim Token As SpeechLib.ISpee chObjectToke

For Each Token In Voice.GetVoice
VoiceCB.Items.A dd((Token.GetDe scription())
Next Toke
VoiceCB.Selecte dIndex =
Voice.Voice = Voice.GetVoices ().Item(VoiceCB .SelectedIndex

Voice.Speak("he llo I'm tired"
VoiceCB.Selecte dIndex =
Voice.Voice = Voice.GetVoices ().Item(VoiceCB .SelectedIndex
Voice.Speak("yo u have to rest")

Hi,

Maybe the sapi4.0a will work. I don't have a sample.
