How to save text-to-speech as a wav with Microsoft SAPI?

I think what I am about to want might be easy for you,so I decided to ask it to you,

Fist I need to turn a text into speech and then save it as wav file.

Could you help me ?

Thanks.

• This is from a few moments' play, so caveat emptor. Worked well for me. I did notice that SpFileStream (which doesn't implement IDisposable, thus the try/finally) prefers absolute paths to relative. C#.

     SpFileStream fs = null;
      try
      {
          SpVoice voice = new SpVoice();
          fs = new SpFileStream();
          fs.Open(@"c:\hello.wav", SpeechStreamFileMode.SSFMCreateForWrite, false);
          voice.AudioOutputStream = fs;
          voice.Speak("Hello world.", SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
      }
      finally
      {
          if (fs != null)
          {
           fs.Close();
          }
      }
  

  Braveyard : Thanks for you effort.

• The following C# code uses the System.Speech namespace in the .Net framework. It is necessary to reference the namespace before using it, because it is not automatically referenced by Visual Studio.

          SpeechSynthesizer ss = new SpeechSynthesizer();
          ss.Volume = 100;
          ss.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Female, VoiceAge.Adult);
          ss.SetOutputToWaveFile(@"C:\MyAudioFile.wav");
          ss.Speak("Hello World");
  

  I hope this is relevant and helpful.

  Braveyard : Hi, before that I need to import some dll, because System.Speech is not available in my project even though I added by using "using System.Speech".

  Michael Petrotta : @Mackenzie: this is a better answer than mine, as it uses .net native classes rather than mucking around with COM.

  Michael Petrotta : @atarikg: Reference the System.Speech assembly.

  Braveyard : Hi, Thanks for every thing, I handled the latest question of mine and it works charmingly right now.

• And as I've found for how to change output format, we code something like this :

  SpeechAudioFormatInfo info = new SpeechAudioFormatInfo(6, AudioBitsPerSample.Sixteen, AudioChannel.Mono);
  
  //Same code comes here 
  
  ss.SetOutputToWaveFile(@"C:\MyAudioFile.wav",info);
  

  That's pretty easy and comprehensible.

  Cool .net
