Hi Tony,

You can use the Sapi.SpVoice Javascript object to use the Microsoft text-to-speech API.

var VoiceObj = new ActiveXObject("Sapi.SpVoice"); var my_test = "This is a text to speech example!"; VoiceObj.Speak( my_test, 1 );

Seehttp://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms719576(VS.85).aspxfor a list of Sapi.SpVoice methods.

Best regards, Benjamin

Hi Guys,

I'm fairly new to the Gadget development world but I'm in the process of developing a Gadget to present text based information to our customer's desktop.

Unfortunately some of our clients are visually impaired so a straight forward text presentation is not ideal even if it's zoomed.

I'd like to know if it's possible to use the windows OS text to speech engine from a gadget so that we can provide audio in parallel.

I don't see any pointers in the gadget API reference. Has anyone out there tried this?

Thanks,

Tony.
