Simple question? Vocalization in VB
I wrote this rudimentary interactive program for my kids. I would like to enhance the program with vocalization. For example, instead of displaying "Hi, how are you?" I would like to the program (speakers) to say "Hi, how are you?" I tried looking for the appropriate functions that do this but came up empty handed. Does anyone know in VB how this is done? Thanks

Do you want to play pre-recorded audio files or generate the vocalizations at run-time. You can play pre-recorded audio using the PlaySound() Win32 API. If you want to generate the vocalizations at run-time then you're trying to do something thats way over my experience level.

Thanks a million for the reply. I most definitely need to play the vocalizations at run time. The program is interactive and the output (vocalizations) are dependent on the user input. I am quite baffled by the lack of response from the readers. Is this really so difficult to do? Perhaps the designers of VB didn't include this functionality in VB?! Somebody out there has to know what would seem like a simple answer to as yet a puzzling question. Is there perhaps an alternative knowledge base that I could turn to, to ask my question? Hello, hello some response please!!!

Check out this sample from Microsoft. One web search found this.
