Text-to-Speech Class ActiveX control crashes everytime

[kimiraikkonen]

Hi all,
In Visual Basic 2005, i added "textToSpee ch Class" from COM Components
and i dragged it onto my form as a ActiveX control with no problem.
The problem is that it doesn't do what it claims.

For example:
If you do a very simple code to speak something using:

AxTextToSpeech1 .Speak("Hello World")


Then it crashes with like the following error:

Unexpected internal error has occured (Exception from HRESULT:
0x80040206)


This control remains from year 1999, it's very old.

Is it unsupported by VB.NET 2005?

If you test, you may experience the same error.

Regards.

Can you tell us the name of the library (file name and library name)? I
don't find in the list of available COM components/controls.

Armin,

I added this control from toolbox->choose items -COM components ->
TextToSpeech Class

Here is control's info:

Path: C:\Windows\spee ch\Vtext.dll
Library: Microsoft Voice Text
Last Modified: 12.01.1999

And whenever i try to speak a word it crashes as stated in my first
post.

Thanks.

I don't have this control, so, I'm afraid, I can't help.

You might look at http://msdn2.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms997568.aspx.
It's a bit more recent, being from this millenium!

The speech control which is from millenium :-) , seems not compatible
with VB.NET 2005, maybe with VB6 or other WinOS versions.

Also there's an alternative SpeecLib library which is explained here:

http://www.vbdotnetheaven.com/UploadFile/scottlysle/TTSinVB08282006014731AM/TTSinVB.aspx

and the TTS reader's code(but not perfect, has some bugs):

http://www.a1vbcode.com/app-3900.asp

But beyond those, "speech-to-text(reverse of text-to-speech)" like
comes with Office XP, that control would be perfect! If there's please
inform.

Thanks.
