Using Speech in XNA

 

Add System.speech dll as a reference

 

then add speech namespace

 

using System.Speech.Synthesis;

 

intilize the speech synthesiser

 

 

  SpeechSynthesizer mysyn=new SpeechSynthesizer();

 

 

use SpeakAsync() method in load grapic content

to play the speech

 

also you can use Speak() methord,but then

you could not abel to acess the application.

 

 protected override void LoadContent()

        {

            // Create a new SpriteBatch, which can be used to draw textures.

            spriteBatch = new SpriteBatch(GraphicsDevice);

            mysyn.SpeakAsync(“welcome to my game”);

      

 

            // TODO: use this.Content to load your game content here

        }

 

Also if you like to change the voice

you can use,

 

mysyn.SelectVoice(“Microsoft Sam”);

 

but you need to intall proper voice in the machine
