Voice Generator for Wavs for Excel Projects?

[golf4]

Hi, everyone -

A little off the subject of Excel, but I was hoping that someone could
point me in the right direction to find a website that I can use to
generate wav files for my Excel projects? I found one:
http://www.angelfire.com/tx/scout21/talk.html but doesn't seem to
work. The thing I'm lookin for --- I type in the text and the tool
would convert the text into a wav file with a variety of voices.

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Golf

Hi Golf,

You may want to look into the Microsoft SAPI functions. Here's a quick
example:

Sub test()
Dim s As Object

Set s = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")

s.Speak "Hello world"

Set s = Nothing
End Sub

I don't know much about the library, but if you set a reference to the
Microsoft Speech Object Library via Tools | References and play around a
bit, you may find what you're looking for.

Hi, Jake -
Sorry it took me a little time to get back to you. Thanks for the
suggestion. Just tried it and does work. I'll have to check out the
Microsoft website to see whether there are any more voices.

I've found a couple more alternatives if you're interested. Just let
me know.

Thanks again,

Golf
