Speech Generation
Do anyone knows how to write Speech generation using visual basic. This is what am trying to do.

I want to be able to interact with my computer, such that whenever i say any word, my computer will be able to generate a reply like a human. Right now i have a predefined reply using case statement but i want to get rid of that.

If there is anyone out there that knows how to do this, please help me out.

I don't think VB would be a good environment for real-time speech recognition.

I don't know if there are any components out there to that may be useful.

I was poking around in a vb6 project and noticed there are direct speech objects, both text to speech and speech recognition. I have no idea how accurate they may be, or even how to use them. I don't even know if these objects came with VB or got on my machine some other way

Look in your project references for "Microsoft Direct Speech Recognition". I assume there is documentation somewhere.

Hi dough

I am aware of the Direct Speech Engine and the Text to Speech object in VB. I use those right now.
What i want to be able to do is generate speech. The program i have now can recognise speech and respond back based on the predefined statement i have in the program.
Instead of predefining reply, i want the computer to generate reply itself like a human.

Good luck! People have been trying to make talking computers for decades now without great success. I don't have any more ideas on this myself.
