Author Description

This step-by-step tutorial teaches you to write Text-To-Speech programs using Visual Basic 6. The program you will write, converts text to speech (speech synthesis). The program also enables the user to control voice parameters (voice pitch, voice speed) and displays an animated mouth, where the mouth moves according to the spoken words. No previous programming experience is required. For readers who do not have any programming experience, a Visual Basic 6 Quick Start tutorial is included. Requirements: To be able to implement the book’s program yourself, you need to have Visual Basic 6 installed on your PC.
