I've made a simple program that uses sapi 5 to say anything that the user enters but i would like to use a voice thats saved in the program directory is this possible? I've seen c++ programs do it before but i'm not sure how this would be achived in visual basic.
This is not the best method but it seems like the only one i can find, You can google CircumReality it's a game created by someone and it uses text to speech for the voices the developer was nice enough to include tools that allow you to make voices and install .tts files.
Simply download CircumReality and install it and goto the program directory and open MNLP.exe from there you should have the option to install a tts voice from file.
