- PCTALK1E PROPERTIES:
-
- -Duration: depending upon your need you can either have a faster speech with less pronunciation
- quality or slower speech with better quality of pronunciation.
- The typical range stretches from 0.2 to 4 (the larger this value the slowest the speech
- you get).
-
- -Volumen: you can control the volume of your speech (typical values 1 to 32000).
-
- -Phrase: this property contains the string of letters which are transformed into speech.
- Variables assigned to this property must be string type ones.
-
- -frequency: this property allows to listen the text at different pitches. Its range goes
- from 0.5 to 2 (0.5 is half the pitch, 2 is twice the pitch and 1 is the natural pitch).
-
- -namewavfile: filename of the .wav file. Defaulted to "c:\". For example if you want to name
- your file "myfile", you assign to the property namewavfile the string "myfile" (without the
- .wav extension) and your file will be created in "c:\myfile.wav". If you want to use another
- subdirectory like "c:\windows\media", assign to the property namewavfile the string
- "windows\media\myfile" (without the .wav extension).
-
- -language: Assign a zero "0" for Spanish
- Assign a one "1" for English
- Assign a two "2" for German (only registered version)
-

-
- -Listentext: this is the method that actually converts text into speech.

- properties before using this method.
