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.

View 2 RepliesI try to store Korean langguage in Microsoft jet OLEDB 4.0 database, but I cant retrive it back.
CODE:
I try to google around for weeks..but still cant find the solution, I believe microsoft jet 4.0 should support unicode, but cant find any command like charset to set the character set.
I've try store with DataTypeEnum.adVarWChar/DataTypeEnum.adWChar/DataTypeEnum.adLongVarWChar.
I've set the regional and lagguage setting to korean(I can view korean in textpad).
I've try System.Threading.Thread.CurrentThread.CurrentCulture = New System.Globalization.CultureInfo("ko-KR") before retrive korean string also.
Now i have totaly no clue. just suspect, i need to do something when create the database or when read from the database, but dont know how.
recommended alternatives for speech recognition other than Microsoft Speech libraries?
View 2 RepliesI'm using this code to store korean string in my database:
Dim username As String = Request.QueryString.Get("Some Korean String")
Using dg As New DataContext()
Dim newfriend As New FriendsTable With {.AskingUser = User.Identity.Name, .BeingAskedUser = username, .Pending = True}
dg.FriendsTables.InsertOnSubmit(newfriend)
dg.SubmitChanges()
end using
Checking my database, the username stored is a string"????"...
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.

View 1 RepliesSo 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 guess this error is result of not able to reading from XML file that includes Japanese words. These words are defined as string.
I don't do much .Net programming, but I do have one that I maintain, so the answer to this may be obvious.
Setup:
Windows 7 Ultimate with All Language Packs Installed
Visual Studio 2008 Winforms VB.Net project.
I'm in the process of localizing this project, and when I'm making the Japanese version of the forms, the characters display as squares, though they render in my browser correctly. I'm guessing that this is because the default font does not have a glyph for those characters.So, my questions:
Are winforms UTF-8, or some other character encoding?
Is there a way to change the character encoding?
Should I change the font for the Japanese forms, or will Windows do it?
What's the general best practice here?
I want to know that I am copying the characters correctly into my forms, and I want to be able to test them.How can I do this?
Arial Unicode MS does have all the glyphs, but I wasn't using it, because it wasn't in the VS2008 list of fonts. I manually edited the font box to use it, but then Visual Studio throws the message, "Attempted to read or write protected memory. This is often an indication that other memory has been corrupted." I'm guessing that's because VS doesn't have permission to access that font for some reason. I go back to the default font, scary error message goes away.
Then, even when using Arial Unicode MS, the text renders as blocks in the forms titles.Same text renders correctly in labels.I think I want to use the default font, and let Windows handle it. I think I've read that everything from XP on will handle it. Windows 2000 won't, which is a shame, but what ever, I don't know what font I should use, and whatever font it is was excluded from VS.I don't know how to add it without getting lots of error messages about protected memory.Now the problem is, resizing the labels in the form, since the translated text is often larger.
Also, I don't have a support team to do this for me, but I could maybe install extra copies of Windows 7, and change to the Japanese language pack and try to run it.But that becomes a major pain.I thought I read that you could change the language while the application is running, but that doesn't seem to be true.MS docs talk about how to do this, but Windows 7 also tells you that you have to log out to change the language.MS Gothic seems to work, and it's part of VS 2008, but the title bar is still squares. That's really odd, since the same glyphs are in the winform.Is that because title bar fonts are set at a system level, and not the application level?
