Application.Speech

Application.Speech
How does this work and what do I need to do my pc to get it working?
I'm running XP with Office 2002.

In the VBE I set a reference to the Speech Object library, and trien
the example from the help file;

Application.Speech.Speak "Hello"

but I get a runtime error 1004.

what does this mean line in the help screen mean;

-This example assumes speech features have been installed on the hos
system. -

I checked my speech settings through the control panel and had th
options there and the SAM voice.

I assume I need some extra software on my PC?

Thank for your hel

Hi,
Not sure, but i think office 2002 may use v6 of ms speack engine, and
win 2000 may come with v 5.1.

It might be that app~.speach "hello" is olny an option for v6?

you can download the latest engine from the ms site somewhere, but A
lot of developers are sicking with 5.1 as it has more vocie and has
wider support.

Sorry not to be of more help

MTBer, this was posted from keepitcool... it may help

Have you tried Microsoft Knowledge base?
KB 277808

just a basic error trap...
try it.. if you get an error report it..

Sub SayHello()
On Error GoTo handler
Application.Speech.Speak ("Hello")
handler:
If Err.Number = 1004 Then
MsgBox "This macro requires Text to Speech to be installed."
End If
End Sub
