Text to Speech Application

[Guest]

Hi,
Currently I'm building an text to speech application on Smartphones. Can
anybody help me out with the Text To Speech Engine by recommending some TTS
to me?
I would like to build it using Visual Studio.Net 2003 using Visual Basic.

Before that i already build the application using the Microsoft Speech 5.1
but it can only support .Net Framework but not Compact FrameWork. therefore
unable to load to the emulator.

Hope some kind hearted soul can teach me as I'm a newbie.

Thanks Alex Yakhnin.
I create a smartphone application using Microsoft Speech 5.1 SDK. I used
Interop.Speechlib.dll as the reference in my VB. I'm unable to load it to
emulator(POCKET PC2003). As we know this reference is not compatiable with
Compact Framework. Is there any solutions to allow the application to be
loaded or load any component to the device so that it will run properly?

Thanks

There are several problems with your approach, but the top two are:

1. Desktop assemblies can't be used on the device
2. The device you're trying to use has no SAPI support

I suggest looking at the link Alex provided.
