Text to speech

[Somil]

Hi

I want to Start with text to speech in LabVIEW.

I searched in the forum and did a bit of  googling but wasnt able to start from anywhere!! 

Kindly guide me from where should i start. Windows has a facility of reading text but how to access that in labVIEW

Thanks

Hello Somil,

What i did in one of my previous project was donload a text to speach software (i used "yRead2") and called it throguh "system exec.vi" dynamically..

I had createdcertain text files so that the "yRead2" just spoke what was mentioned in the text file....Hope this could have some use to you...

By the way i saw a blog  on eyes ov vi's

which talks more about .......

Hi Guru ji     (i hope you dont mind me calling you guruji)

I dont want to use some other software. I want pure LabVIEW.

And the good news is, i ve found out a way. We can use the Speech library functions in windows directly in labVIEW. By doing a bit of coding, one can make LabVIEW read the desired Text

good that you have found out a solution...Any example vi's?

This post is three years old so I doubt you will get an answer.  He's just calling the free Ispeech object through ActiveX though.

I am  doing sign language translation using labview.....need text to speech synthesizer vi without using any software and also gesture recognition module

As NIquest mentionned, this is an old thread.

You should post your question in a new thread.

But before you do, can you explain what you mean by "need text to speech synthesizer vi without using any software"?

How do you plan tyo implement something without software?
