text-to-speech for English language using Visual Basic 2008
Dim speech speech = CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")
speech.speak(TextBox1.Text)
how this can be used for other languages?
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.

text-to-speech for English language using Visual Basic 2008

how this can be used for Arabic languages?
VS 2008 SP1. I cannot get my application to display in English, it always displays in French. I have an application that uses 2 languages. The default language is en-GB and the second language is French. For setting the text of the buttons and labels. I have set the localized property to true and changing the language to fr-FR on the form. So setting the default languages controls by choosing the default the language property, and then switching to French language to set the French controls. So I have the following files:
formMain.resx
formMain.fr-FR.resx
formMain.Designer.vb
formMain.vb
And for message boxes and other strings I have added these 2 resource files
formMain.Strings.resx
formMain.Strings.fr-FR.resx
So if I want to switch to different languages I have changed the cultureInfo as follows:
If My.Settings.Default.Language = "fr-FR" Then
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("fr-FR")
Else
Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentUICulture = New CultureInfo("en-GB")
End If
And for string I use the following: MessageBox.Show(formMain_Strings.SameStringName)
I also an address book form that is a child of the formMain. Which I have used the same method. However, the address book works as normal, but the formMain never changes to the language I want. Even though tested by explictly setting the language to en-GB in the form constuctor before the inializeComponent() it will always default to French. Not sure why the address book (child) work correctly, the parent form (formMain) will always display in French, no matter if I have set this to en-GB. I am 100% that my method is correct using what I have show you above. I was thinkng about deleting the formMain and creating a new one. But that would mean doing everything again and would take too long.
I need a fast way to check if a word exists in the English language.
View 2 RepliesIm trying to create a program that translates english to another language. i have no clue how to begin doing this, i have the program designed and all of the buttons besides the "Translate" button coded...it has 2 radio button to choose which way you are translating, (English to german, or German to english) the input is a textbox, and the output is a label. and its going to be nothing more than a "replace this word with that word" kind of program. Im also going to connect to a database where the list of words will be held.

Is there any function (VB.NET or C#) that can transform an English word into its singular or to its plural form? I was thinking of having a database that contains all words in English as well as their plural form but I also think that it is stupid since that will be huge and besides there are rules in English on how to translate a word to its plural form, so why not create a function that does the transformation?

View 8 RepliesI have just bought a new mic. It works just fine with Sound Recorder and MSN Messenger, but not speech recognition. Whenever I try to start Speech Recognition, it says something like "Speech Recognition could not start because the language configuration does not match the one Speech Recognition is using". The language I probably need to use is Microsoft Recognizer v5.1. But whenever I select it, it says that the engine could not be created. I already have my mic configured properly and even the tutorial works perfectly fine and same with the Training the computer thingy.

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.

In my winform app in VB.NET I want to use the localization option. But i have a few questions/problems. I'm using a menu strip to select an other language. But it seems that is doesn't change my menustip text to my selected language. It does change my labels, buttons, and textboxes but menu strips don't seem to change when I choose another language. Also is it possible to get those resx files such as MyForm.fr-FR.resx compiled so it isn't an external file outside my app? Or to get those files in an Language folder at the same location of my app, so i don't have all those fr-FR & nl-Nl folders in the same location as my program?
View 4 RepliesI'm facing a major problem with a Deployment Project I created to install one of my applications.I am using the ENGLISH IDE of the Visual Studio 2008 - even though my end users will have German environments. This is why I set the
Localization = German
Property in the Deployment Project's Properties. The UI of the generated setup is German, so all's fine there. However, the setup installs the ENGLISH .Net Framework. I have not found any way around this.The problem are at least twofold:
1. An English Framework on a German PC might cause instabilities.
2. It's a big flaw to see UI inconsistencies (i.e. the UI and Setup of the application is German while the NET Framework shows certain elements in English, e.g. the DisplayName property of cultures)how can I get the project to install the localized .NET Framework?
I'm trying to create a small program, which I think will be helpful to others(in here). My aim is to convert the English text shown in screen to Malayalam. English-to-Malayalam conversion is not a problem. But the problem is, how to extract the text from the screen. In most of the converter/translator, the text needs to be copied or written down in the translator tool. But my program will cut off that part. That is, simply move the program window (having a rectangle hollow portion) to the English word that needs to be converted. And upon pressing a button (or autodetect), the English word is converted to Malayalam.
So, my question is how to extract the English text(or words) from the screen (which is seen through the hollow portion of the window.
Here's a screenshot of what I'm trying to do.

I have a program in which a user enters a sentence in English into a text box, then the sentence is translated into French and German based on words in an array of structures that gets its values from a text file. I have almost all of the program written, but I am a bit confused on how to get VB to get the English words that are entered into the text box separately so they can be translated individually and the value returned. I need to use a Sub Procedure to get the English Words and to Translate them. [Code]
