This works for me and you may need to D/L the speech SDK (see notes at end):
#!perl -w --
use strict;
use Win32;
use Win32::OLE;
our %A; # get commandline switches into %A
for (my $ii = 0; $ii < @ARGV; ) {
last if $ARGV[$ii] =~ /^--$/;
if ($ARGV[$ii] !~ /^-{1,2}(.*)$/) { $ii++; next; }
my $arg = $1; splice @ARGV, $ii, 1;
if ($arg =~ /^([\w]+)=(.*)$/) { $A{$1} = $2; } else { $A{$1}++; }
}
my $XP = 0;
$XP = 1 if $^O =~ /Win32/i and Win32::GetOSName() =~ /XP/;
my $class = $XP ? "SAPI.SpVoice" : "Speech.VoiceText";
my $debug = $A{d} || 0;
my $use_tie = $A{t} || 0;
my $text = "It is now " . scalar (localtime) . "\n";
$text = join ' ', @ARGV if @ARGV;
print "XP=$XP; text=$text\n" if $debug;
if ($use_tie) {
tie *SPEECH, 'Speech'; END { untie *SPEECH; }
print SPEECH $text;
} else {
my $voice = Win32::OLE->new($class) or die "new $class: $! ($^E)";
# $voice->Register('', 'Perl');
$voice->speak($text);
}
exit;
#- - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - -
package Speech;
sub TIEHANDLE {
my $voice = Win32::OLE->new($class) or die "new $class: $! ($^E)";
# $voice->Register('', 'Perl');
print "Tieing class $class to $_[0]\n" if $debug;
bless \$voice => shift;
}
sub PRINT {
my $voice = shift;
print "Speaking $text\n" if $debug;
$$voice->Speak($text, 0);
}
sub DESTROY {
my $voice = shift;
print "In destroy\n" if $debug;
if ($XP) {
my $ret = $$voice->WaitUntilDone(10000);
# print "ret=", $ret ? 'finished' : 'killed', "\n";
} else {
sleep (1) while $$voice->IsSpeaking;
}
}
