- HOW TO INCORPORATE DIGITIZED VOICE INTO YOUR PROGRAMS
-
-
- This information applies to QuickBASIC 3.0, but should be applicable to
- other programming languages with some adaptation.
-
- To call a digitized voice file from a QB program, use the SHELL command.
- Syntax is:
-
- SHELL "PLAY [data file]"
-
- For example, to have the file, NUMBERS.VOI, spoken during the execution
- of a QB program, the line should read:
-
- SHELL "PLAY NUMBERS.VOI"
-
- QB's SHELL command loads a second copy of COMMAND.COM, runs the program
- contained in the argument string, then returns to the calling program.
-
- Since I'm not familiar with other languages, I assume that there's a way
- to do the same thing.
-
- .ASM source files for the PLAY.EXE and RECORD.EXE programs are included
- in this archive, which should allow better programmers than I to rewrite
- the routines for inclusion in their programs.
-
- Naturally, these routines mean accessing the disk, so these programs are
- best run from a hard disk.
