Text to Speech Converter in Vs 2012

Introduction

Today I explain how to convert text or a text file into speech. This process is also called voice synthesis. To implement this, first of I must add the "System.Speech" using the add reference dialog box in your project. Then add the following two namespaces:

using System.Speech.Synthesis ;

using System.IO;

"System.Speech.Synthesis" contains the various functions for voice synthesis.

Use the following procedure to create it.

Step 1

First of all you must create a new Windows Store Application.

Step 2

Now design the form as you need to. Here I have designed it like this:

Step 3

Right-click on file name (that is available in Solution Explorer) and add the library "System.Speech".

Step 4

Now write the Form1.cs code in C#.

using System;

using System.Collections.Generic;

using System.ComponentModel;

using System.Data;

using System.Drawing;

using System.Linq;

using System.Text;

using System.Windows.Forms;

using System.Speech.Synthesis ;

using System.IO;

namespace text_to_speech

{

public partial class Form1 : Form

{

public Form1()

{

InitializeComponent();

}

private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

speech = new SpeechSynthesizer();

Pausespeak.Enabled = false;

Resumespeak.Enabled = false;

Stopspeak.Enabled = false;

}

SpeechSynthesizer speech;

private void button6_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)

{

if (textbox1.Text.Length >0)

{

speech = new SpeechSynthesizer();

speech.SpeakAsync(textbox1.Text);

label1.Text = "Speaking";

Pausespeak.Enabled = true;

Stopspeak.Enabled = true;

speech.SpeakCompleted += speech_SpeakCompleted;

}

else

{
