ISpeechVoiceStatus PhonemeId Property (SAPI 5.3)

Microsoft Speech API 5.3

Interface: ISpeechVoiceStatus

PhonemeId Property

The PhonemeId property retrieves the ID of the current phoneme being spoken by the voice.

Syntax

Parts

• ISpeechVoiceStatus
  The owning object.
• Integer
  Set: (This property is read-only)
  Get: An Integer variable returning the Phoneme ID.

Example

The following Visual Basic form code demonstrates the use of the PhonemeId property of an ISpeechVoiceStatus object. To run this code, create a form with the following controls:

• A command button called Command1
• Two text boxes called Text1 and Text2

Paste this code into the Declarations section of the form.

The Form_Load procedure creates a voice object and places a sentence in the text box. The Command1_Click procedure speaks the contents of the text box asynchronously, and loops until the voice has finished speaking. Inside the loop, the code checks PhonemeId property periodically and displays it in Text2.

        For ii = 0 To 20000
            DoEvents
        Next ii
        Text2.Text = Text2.Text & V.Status.PhonemeId & " "

    Loop While V.Status.RunningState = SRSEIsSpeaking

    If Err.Number Then ShowErrMsg
End Sub
