Just a quick hint: To get to the area to add the reference, right click the project name in the project explorer and click Add Reference, then click the COM tab... It will NOT be in the toolbox (if you choose Add Items)<br />

Hi Experts,<br />
<br />
All i want is for a user to move the mouse over a textbox and for the text in that textbox to be read out. I have downloaded the following:<br />
<br />
1. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;microsoft speech recognition engine &nbsp;(5.3Mb)<br />
2. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;microsoft text to speech engine &nbsp;(7.5Mb)<br />
3. &nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;microsoft speech API &nbsp;(752kb)<br />
<br />
Problem<br />
<br />
No idea what references to include in the COM tab, so therefore cannot create any speech objects to do anything.<br />
<br />
I do have the Microsoft Agent SDK working in a tester application i produced, however, i dont want stupid animated characters!!!<br />
<br />
Please help im at my wits end!!!

Text to Speech using vb.net

Visual Basic .NET (VB.NET) is an object-oriented programming language implemented on the .NET framework, but also supported on other platforms such as Mono and Silverlight. Microsoft launched VB.NET as the successor to the Visual Basic language. Though it is similar in syntax to  Visual Basic pre-2002, it is not the same technology,

Visual Basic.NET

Voice or speech recognition includes methodologies and technologies that enable the recognition and translation of spoken language into text by computers and computerized devices. It is also known as "automatic speech recognition" (ASR), "computer speech recognition", or just "speech to text" (STT). Voice recognition applications include voice user interfaces such as voice dialling (e.g. "Call home"), call routing (e.g. "I would like to make a collect call"), appliance control, search, simple data entry, preparation of structured documents, speech-to-text processing, and aircraft (usually termed Direct Voice Input).
