@Jeff
To make the voice speak when you run a program, you will need to use AutoIt – just google it and click the first link. (in the installer, set it to run the script when you open them.)
Now go to Start, Programs, AutoIt v3, SciTE Script Editor and type this in, then save it to “%homedrive%%homepath%\start menu\programs\startup\sapispeak.au3″ (with the quotes).

$sapi=ObjCreate(“sapi.spvoice”) ;Start sapi
$sapi.speak(” “) ;Initialise sapi
While 1
WinWait(“Firefox”) ;Wait for a Firefox window
$sapi.speak(“Starting Firefox.”) ;Speak
WEnd

Replace Firefox with any word that appears in the title bar of the program you want it to speak for, refer to the “Window Titles and Text (Basic)” page of the help file for details. Now log off and log on again and when you run the program you set it to, the voice says what you typed. To stop it, click the AutoIt icon in the system tray and choose exit.

Hey. Do you know how I can get it so that whenever I click on something, (say: Mozilla Firefox) it will say something like: “Opening window terminal.” ???

for the people who cant get it to work., if u copied it, you have to remove the quotes, and then retype the quotes back in. dont know why this is, but they actually look different than the ones you copy, plus the program will work then.

On my computer it does not work like that, and I have a Windows XP. For the people that can not get it to work can follow these steps.

1) Click the Start button
2) Go to “Control Panel”
3) Click on “Speech”
4) Look under the sentence that says “Use the following text to preview the voice:” and backspace the words that are in the bar.
5) Type whatever things you want to and push “Preview Voice”.

P.S. You can change the speed of the voice by dragging the arrow back and forth.

You need to copy the picture. not the text (no ctrl c + v).
because in the text are soms spacebars written, and also the “”s are wrong. copy this:

dim message, sapi
message=InputBox(“Type here”,”Talk”)
set sapi=CreateObject(“sapi.spvoice”)
sapi.Speak message

Grz.

It worked fine for me, I found this program that works without installing the software. Copy and paste the file but change all of the “” Because it wnt work so you must change all of them, for me I just typed out the whole document.

Aseem, você não tem nenhuma dica de um programa que eu escreva e o pc fale, e eu consiga gravar o que ele disse ?

Eu preciso colocar uma gravação pra um vídeo entendeu, ele estaria narrando o vídeo,mas como fica muito chiado no microfone, eu procurei um programa assim.

Beijos!
