SpeakIt

Simple windows form application that speaks whatever user enters into given textbox.

Code behind:

• Basic idea behind this is similar to my previous repository: KeySound

• I included a textbox, groupbox with two radio buttons and a button.

• User enters data/message into textbox provided, which then will be passed to a string variable as:

string text = textBox1.Text;

• Now, We will create object of SpeechSynthesizer as:

SpeechSynthesizer speech = new SpeechSynthesizer();

• Now, When user clicks on Speak button, we will call selectGender() function to select the gender of output voice based on option selected by the user.
• This selectGender() is as follows:

public void selectGender()
{
    if (radioButton1.Checked == true)
        speech.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Male, VoiceAge.Adult);
    else
        speech.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Female, VoiceAge.Adult);
}

• Now, We will set speech volume as:

speech.Volume = 100;

• At the end, We will call Speak method using object of SpeechSynthesizer with text as argument:

speech.Speak(text);
