SpeechSynthesizer.SetOutputToWaveStream Method
Configures the SpeechSynthesizer object to append output to a stream that contains Waveform format audio.
Namespace: Microsoft.Speech.Synthesis
Assembly: Microsoft.Speech (in Microsoft.Speech.dll)
Syntax
'Declaration
Public Sub SetOutputToWaveStream ( _
audioDestination As Stream _
)
'Usage
Dim instance As SpeechSynthesizer
Dim audioDestination As Stream
instance.SetOutputToWaveStream(audioDestination)
public void SetOutputToWaveStream(
Stream audioDestination
)
Parameters
- audioDestination
Type: System.IO.Stream
The stream to which to append synthesis output.
Remarks
To release the SpeechSynthesizer’s reference to the stream, reconfigure the synthesizer's output, for example, by calling SetOutputToNull.
For other output configuration options, see the SetOutputToAudioStream, SetOutputToDefaultAudioDevice, SetOutputToNull, and SetOutputToWaveFile methods.
Examples
The following example outputs a phrase to a WAV stream.
using System;
using System.IO;
using Microsoft.Speech.Synthesis;
namespace SampleSynthesis
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Initialize a new instance of the speech synthesizer.
using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer())
using (MemoryStream stream = new MemoryStream())
{
// Create a SoundPlayer instance to play the output audio file.
MemoryStream streamAudio = new MemoryStream();
System.Media.SoundPlayer m_SoundPlayer = new System.Media.SoundPlayer();
// Configure the synthesizer to output to an audio stream.
synth.SetOutputToWaveStream(streamAudio);
// Speak a phrase.
synth.Speak("This is sample text-to-speech output.");
streamAudio.Position = 0;
m_SoundPlayer.Stream = streamAudio;
m_SoundPlayer.Play();
// Set the synthesizer output to null to release the stream.
synth.SetOutputToNull();
// Insert code to persist or process the stream contents here.
}
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
}
