I hope I'm posting this on the right board;
Using VB6 & Win 98, I spent many days trying to make an old (cash register) program I wrote many years ago talk. ie; "two at three dollars and twenty-five cents each", "Total due is" , "Your change is", etc. I had little or no success. One member suggested I up-grade my OS & up-grade from VB6 to VB.NET. I did up-grade to Win XP Pro & will try to learn VB.NET later.

Still trying to accomplish my goal, I purchase several third-party APIs (Alive Text to Speech, TextSound, & TextAloud) at a cost of $25 to $29 each. They all had problems and wouldn't work for me. I sent numerous e-mails to their support address for help. I got zero response from "Alive Text to Speech" & "TextSound". I did get immediate response from "TextSound". "TextSound" was NOT able to help me with my problem which turned out (according to their forum) to be shared by other users of their application. Additionally, "TextSound" wanted an additional $250 for a developers license if I wanted to use their command line feature for more than 30 days. Since it wouldn't work for me anyway, this discussion became mute.

About to give up, I decided to download the free SDK5.1 (Speech Development Kit) from Microsoft. Only having dial-up this took 4 hours. Boy, was it worth it!

Not only did the download come with several complete sample speech projects, they all compiled & ran on VB6. Even better yet, they all had complete, well commented source code. After getting this download, I had my old program running & talking perfect in about 45 minutes.

I hope this might be helpful to someone.

Robert, still trying
