Examples

The following example creates a PromptBuilder object, appends text, and then writes the SSML equivalent of the prompt to the console before speaking the contents of the prompt.

using System;  
using System.Speech.Synthesis;  

namespace SampleSynthesis  
{  
  class Program  
  {  
    static void Main(string[] args)  
    {  

      // Initialize a new instance of the SpeechSynthesizer.  
      using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer())  
      {  

        // Configure the audio output.   
        synth.SetOutputToDefaultAudioDevice();  

        // Create a PromptBuilder object and add content.  
        PromptBuilder style = new PromptBuilder();  
        style.AppendText("Your order for");  
        style.StartStyle(new PromptStyle(PromptRate.Slow));  
        style.AppendText("one kitchen sink and one faucet");  
        style.EndStyle();  
        style.AppendText("has been confirmed.");  

        // Write the contents of the PromptBuilder object to the console as  
        // an SSML-compatible XML file.  
        string myXml = style.ToXml();  
        Console.WriteLine("This is the SSML equivalent of the PromptBuilder: \n\n" + myXml);  

        // Speak the contents of the SSML prompt.  
        synth.Speak(style);  
      }  

      Console.WriteLine();  
      Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");  
      Console.ReadKey();  
    }  
  }  
}  

Remarks

The ToXml method makes no attempt to format the returned SSML in any way.
