Text To Speech - Making Program To Pronounce Full Words
Oct 24, 2010
My "Learn Welsh" application is now near completion, I only have a few things left to add / fix then I will share it with the world. Here's a screenshot of it so far :
As you can see by the picture above, I have created a simple feature in my application to pronounce letters from a word to assist users to learn the welsh alphabet. What I would really like to do is make the program pronounce full words. I already know how to make use of the system.speech reference in vb, here is a quick sample of code:
Dim speak As System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer = New System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer
Dim word as string = "hello"
speak.Rate = 1
speak.Speak(word)
Now what I'm looking to do is make use of a welsh based voice and make an application like the one below:

I'd like to know if anyone has a code for or can direct me on how to select keywords given in a speech command and to ignore the other words. Example: Speech "The beach looks great today"
I want to use the word "beach" to trigger a function and ignore the rest of the speech.

I'm trying to create a Speech Recognition support for my program. I want to make it so that if I say something in my microphone, the program just writes what I said in Label1. I looked for Speech Recognition codes in MSDN and Google, but I didn't find anything useful. I found a code, but it was for VB.net, I tried but it didn't work in VB 2010.

Anyway, I'm a teacher and am writing a program that simply shows kids a word on a flashcard. There are 2 buttons, 1 to read the word and 1 to go to a new work. There are going to be 300 words. Really I'm just testing it right here. What I want to know is should I be inputting all the words right into the code like I did with "hi" and "not 1" (Don't ask. those are just the 2 random words I picked to test this out with). OR is there a better way (maybe somehow to type all the words on a text file and have the program randomly pull one of them (I don't know how to do this).
Here is the code so far:
Public Class Form1
Dim word
Private Sub Button1_Click(ByVal sender As System.Object, ByVal e As System.EventArgs) Handles Button1.Click
[CODE]...

In my debug folder I got this "Full English Dictionary" .txt file which I use in my program. But I don't want to send the whole folder, I just want to send the .exe file.. So is there a way to somehow "add" the dictionary file to the .exe file? Like get it inside it or something?

attached is my project on making multiple words from 1 word
This solves the word and has an option to save. Or it solves and saves all words in a list. I tried to do it with jokers using the jokers as every letter but it slows the program down drastically.

I am just making the transition from VBA to full on VB net 4 using Visual studio 2010. I think I have the basics down but am struggling with learning the commands for windows/filesystem manipulation. The problem is as follows I am creating my first program - the aim is to accept a root directory, then go through each sub directory in that location and delete the contents of any files whilst retaining the folder (hope that makes sense!)

I have been tasked with making a program that combines text files.. okay.. easy enough. Problem is now I have been asked to make the same program start from the second line of the text files to get rid of headers. I am currently using StreamReader to do this but not sure how to make the reader "line feed" before it reads the data. Any help would be much appriciated. Current code below..
Private Sub BackgroundWorker2_DoWork(ByVal sender As Object, ByVal e As System.ComponentModel.DoWorkEventArgs) Handles BackgroundWorker2.DoWork
Dim writer As StreamWriter = New StreamWriter(Environ("userprofile") + "\Desktop\CombinedFile.txt")
Dim files As String() = Directory.GetFiles(TextBox1.Text)
Dim filename As String

and have the program display
Title
Text = blah blah

other than GML (Yoyogames.com Game Maker Language), I am new to the coding world. The only "major" project I have completed using VB is a computer calculator that exactly mimics the capabilities of Windows 7's calculator. Yesterday, I began a Chatbot program for my girlfriend. Lol. I have used the instr() function to answer most of the questions or answers which are typed into the textbox1. I find this extremely troublesome because when using the instr() function you cannot say instr(textbox1.
Public Class Form1
Dim fos As String = "Foster: "
Dim ash As String = "Ashley: "

I am wondering if there is a simple way to make the text to speech occur after the updating of label.text
If I have the following:label.Text = "words words" voice.Speak(label.Text)
I would like the label on the form to display "words words" before it speaks. I'm a beginner with vb, and the only thing I could come up with was to use a timer. Just wondering if there's a simpler/more sophisticated solution.

I'm doing a project using Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1 and I'm using Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 or VB .NET. I saw a sample program that came with Speech SDK 5.1 named "Dictation Pad" where he can make voice training come out. This app was made with C++ so I was wondering if I could do it also in VB. I would just want to create a button to press and then the training dialogue would come out. I really need it!

I have been pulling my hair on how to write a simple (may be not) program to recognize my native language (again, not English).I want to be able to just speak to the computer as we could in English and have the program type the words for me.We use the English alphabet to write our words so that's one step ahead already, but I don't understand how I can tie the sound to the words.

So basically, I now how to do the whole text to speech thing with the following Button
VB
Dim SAPI
SAPI = CreateObject("SAPI.spvoice")
SAPI.Speak(TextBox1.Text)
But is there any way to get it to read other writing systems, such as Korean Is there some sort of software or some addon or something I can install? Perhaps a Korean version of Microsoft Visual Studio 2010, or something?I'm really at a loss here, and it would help me out a lot if there's a solution out there that someone can think of.

I'm trying to do text-to-speech in VB2008 on Windows 7 but I encounter the following exception: first chance exception of type 'System. Runtime. InteropServices.COMException' occurred in Text to Speech.exe..so I made the simplest program I could imagine that should work to minimize error sources but I can't seem to avoid the error. I have included a reference to Microsoft Speech Object COM for both programs and speech-to-text works in the original program.[code]

I am using system.speech currently. I want to use speech recognition to make a program. However, while the program is running, I noticed that some of the commands for windows (like saying "run") would trigger other program functions. Thus, while the VB.net program is running I do not want this to happen. Also, when the computer starts up, I speech to start listening right away rather than me having to say "start listening". How can I do this? I am pretty sure that it is simple. This is my code so far:
