Creating a speech enabled application

Matt Harrington has provided a great article on writing some code to enable speech.  It even comes with some sample code. Perhaps most robust is how to use text to speech interface to notify a user when a particular system event has occurred. Got your own snippet of speech enabling code? Post it here!

  If you don't already have Speech SDK installed, you can get it from here:

  Hey Kinglsey, super thanks to Matt Harrington for throwing this code my way. This will allow you to create a wave, but as for MP3, you'll have work with another library as it's not supported by Sapi:
  
  //------------------
  string text = "Hello World";
  
  SpVoice voice = new SpVoice();
  
  SpFileStream fileStream = new SpFileStream();
  
  fileStream.Open(@"c:sample.wav", SpeechStreamFileMode.SSFMCreateForWrite, false);
  
  voice.AudioOutputStream = fileStream;
  
  voice.Speak(text,SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
  
  fileStream.Close();
