A Text to Speech App using VB.NET (Microsoft Speech API)

Image
[Software Project] Difficulty Rating: 4/10 GUI Design: Microsoft Visual Studio 2010 software package. Back-end program: VB.NET This is a simple text to speech App designed using Microsoft Speech API. The SAPI is heart of this program (backend). I've added a few features like volume control, speaking rate control and an option to save the speech. The speech can be saved in any file say, mp3 or wav. Eventually, what we have, is a female computer generated Robotic Speech . SAPI.Volume = TrackBar1.Value This will control the volume from 10 to 100 in the steps of 10. Properties can be changed as per our convenience.  SAPI.Rate = TrackBar2.Value This will control the speed of speaking. Again properties can be changed as per our convenience.  For those having Resolution 1920 x 1080, Download STACY: Click here You will also need Microsoft .NET Framework 4 Web Installer Download it here: Click here Enjoy!!
