How to convert text string to speech sound

Question

I am looking for a way to convert text(string) in ENG to speech(sound) in c#. do anyone know for a way or some open-source lib that can help me with this task?

Answer 1

You can do this with the help of System.Speech.Synthesis namespace. For that, you need to add a reference to System.speech.dll first.

Try this:

using System.Speech.Synthesis;

namespace TextToSpeech
{
   public partial class Form1 : Form
   {
     SpeechSynthesizer speak;
     public Form1()
     {
        InitializeComponent();
        speak = new SpeechSynthesizer();
     }

     private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
        string text="Speak this";
        speak.SpeakAsync(text);
     }
  }
}
