Examples
The following example creates a PromptBuilder object, appends text, and then writes the SSML equivalent of the prompt to the console before speaking the contents of the prompt.
using System;
using Microsoft.Speech.Synthesis;
namespace SampleSynthesis
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
// Initialize a new instance of the SpeechSynthesizer.
using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer())
{
// Configure the audio output.
synth.SetOutputToWaveFile(@"C:\test\Hardware.wav");
// Create a SoundPlayer instance to play the output audio file.
System.Media.SoundPlayer m_SoundPlayer =
new System.Media.SoundPlayer(@"C:\test\Hardware.wav");
// Create a PromptBuilder object and add content.
PromptBuilder style = new PromptBuilder();
style.AppendText("Your order for");
style.StartStyle(new PromptStyle(PromptRate.Slow));
style.AppendText("one kitchen sink and one faucet");
style.EndStyle();
style.AppendText("has been confirmed.");
// Write the contents of the PromptBuilder object to the console as
// an SSML-compatible XML file.
string myXml = style.ToXml();
Console.WriteLine("This is the SSML equivalent of the PromptBuilder: \n\n" + myXml);
// Speak the prompt and play back the output file.
synth.Speak(style);
m_SoundPlayer.Play();
}
Console.WriteLine();
Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
Console.ReadKey();
