Text to speech

Question

I am improving the small alarm / reminder application that I created many years ago, and I would like to make a beep every hour, but instead of a beep, it would be much nicer to say the time. Is there an easy way to do this in DELPHI D2007 or later? Thanks

Answer 1

Check out the Brian Long Tutorial Speech Synthesis and Speech Recognition Using SAPI 5.1

I wrote text software using this tutorial.

It reads the contents of the clipboard when I press CTRL + F10

uses Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls, ComObj; 

[...]

 procedure TForm1.Button1Click(Sender: TObject); var Voice: Variant; begin Voice := CreateOLEObject('SAPI.SpVoice'); Voice.speak('Hello World'); end; 

Answer 3

I again made a video to let your applications speak in Delphi. I personally have never found a use for text to speech in one of my applications, but it is a fun thing to know how to do it; -)

In my code, I use the MS Agent component and TAgntSrvr: http://delphi.icm.edu.pl/ftp/d30free/agntsrvr.htm
