How to make your computer talk/speak what you type!!!

Now you can go out and buy the software orrrrrrrrrr you can follow these easy steps and make your computer speak what you type. Ready!!! Also you can change the voice but thats for another time...have fun comicvine XD.

Step 1: Open Notepad and paste the following text into a new document:

Dim message, sapi
message=InputBox(“Enter the text you want spoken”,”Speak This”)
Set sapi=CreateObject(“sapi.spvoice”)
sapi.Speak message

It should basically look something like this:

Now when you go to save the file, give it any name, but make sure you also type.VBS after the name. Also, for the Save as type box, choose All files instead of the default Text Documents.

Now double-click on the VBS file and you should see a input box where you can type in the text you want spoken! Go ahead and type something and click OK.

That’s it! Your computer will speak to you in the default voice, you can type what ever you want and it will speak it as long as you spell it right!

Any questions just ask..Also if you need a hand again just ask..What voice is your default voice on your computer...mines a female voice and it's high pitched.

if you get an error message Your browser displays the quotation marks differently. Go back to the Notepad file and replace all the quotes (“). Save the file and try again.

Nice. I got mine working now. And I had to do it, but the first thing I had it say was "I'm sorry Dave, I'm afraid I can't do that."

Yay! It works! :) I was puzzled for a bit but then realised it wouldn't work through my headphones. 
I have an American female voice that sounds kinda like the computer from the Command &  Conquer game.
