Text To Speech (Revisited)

Jon, I want to express my gratitude. You gave me a momentum. Your post
brought certain things into focus and I began paying attention.

It turned out to be very easy and doable.

First I thought of doing it in a .vbs file and run it from my C# code but
there was a better way an MSDN guy suggested.

This is how it looks in C#

using SpeechLib;

// some code

public void textToSpeech ( string text )
{
SpVoice voice = new SpVoice ( );
voice.Speak ( text, SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync );
voice.WaitUntilDone ( 30000 );
}

// some code
// An example of using the function call:

textToSpeech ( this.nodesAfterSearch.Count.ToString ( ) + " Records
Found" );

Parts of my code were simplified quite a bit. I now can delete a folder with
..wma and .wav files. Before I could not think of computer telling me the
numbers of items that were found in text or treeView. Now it is a piece of
cake. Viva MS! The options it offers to developers are incredible.

Thanks again, I appreciate it.
