ISpVoice::SetVoice (SAPI 5.3)

Microsoft Speech API 5.3

ISpVoice::SetVoice

ISpVoice::SetVoice sets the identity of the voice used for text synthesis. ISpVoice normally uses the default voice, which is set through Speech properties in Control Panel.

  
    HRESULT SetVoice(ISpObjectToken   *pToken
);

Parameters

• pToken
  [in] Pointer to token that describes the requested voice. If pToken is NULL, the system default voice is used.

Return values

Value

S_OK

E_INVALIDARG

Remarks

Changing the voice selection will preserve the same volume and rate levels for an ISpVoice object.

Example

The following is an example to enumerate all the available voices registered under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Speech\Voices.

  
// Declare local identifiers:
HRESULT                        hr = S_OK;
CComPtr<ISpObjectToken>        cpVoiceToken;
CComPtr<IEnumSpObjectTokens>   cpEnum;
CComPtr<ISpVoice>              cpVoice;
ULONG                          ulCount = 0;

// Create the SAPI voice.
hr = cpVoice.CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SpVoice);

if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
{
   // Enumerate the available voices.
   hr = SpEnumTokens(SPCAT_VOICES, NULL, NULL, &cpEnum;);
}

if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
{
   // Get the number of voices.
   hr = cpEnum->GetCount(&ulCount;);
}

// Obtain a list of available voice tokens, set
// the voice to the token, and call Speak.
while (SUCCEEDED(hr) && ulCount--)
{
   cpVoiceToken.Release();

   if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
   {
      hr = cpEnum->Next(1, &cpVoiceToken;, NULL);
   }

   if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
   {
      hr = cpVoice->SetVoice(cpVoiceToken);
   }

   if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
   {
      hr = cpVoice->Speak( L"How are you?", SPF_DEFAULT, NULL );
   }

}

if (SUCCEEDED (hr))
{
   // Do more stuff here.
}
