Re: [Audyssey] visual basic help
Hi, Also, if you're using .NET, you don't need the MSAPI.dll. The interface to SAPI is built in to the .NET framework in the System.Speech namespace. Munawar A.

Two that come to mind are Learning Visual Basic .NET and Visual Basic .NET in a Nutshell. Both are published by O'Reilly and Associates. As far as using DirectX in a Visual Basic .NET application you need a third-party development kit such as SlimDX which provides a managed interface to DirectX. To get the SlimDX SDK go to http://www.slimdx.org and download/install it. One thing I'd like to mention before I go is there are two different languages called Visual Basic. There is Visual Basic 6 and earlier which is very old, no longer being supported by Microsoft, etc that is still being used by Jim Kitchen and others. There is the newer visual Basic language Visual Basic .NET which is more object oriented, uses the .NET Framework, and has many features/upgrades that previously were not available in Visual Basic 6 and earlier. Plus the Visual Basic 6 compilers are not free, and are hard to find where Visual Basic .NET Express is free and easy to find.

Re: [Audyssey] visual basic help
Hi Chastity, If you get ahold of Visual Basic 6. You will then want to down load from Microsoft or I could send you the developers kits (SDK) for the sapi5 speech and DirectX. The files are speechsdk51.exe and DX81b_SDK.exe. That would be all that you need for the speech and playing sounds in VB6.

Re: [Audyssey] Visual Basic Help
Hi Kevin, If you like, I can send you a simple sample guess the number game that is written in Visual Basic 6. It uses DirectX to play sounds, showing how to pan them etc. And it uses the sapi5 text to speech engine for speech. Just let me know if you would like me to send it to you privately. BTW it is under 200k zipped with the wave files, source code etc. BFN Jim The Einstein theory is relatively simple.
