VB compile needed

[K.S.]

and yea, vb express was just what the dr. ordered..

wooooaaaaw, till now i only had a diploma in engineering. how fast could i get that degree? should i PM you my address? is it a full blown doctor of engineering or only a dr.h.c. (never mind, send it anyway ;-) ?

btw i wonder which plugins will start to incorporate that code? what plugins do you have in mind? i wouldn't like to have my box starting to ask me "do you realy want to standby?" so i would like to have the choice to enable / disable it. i don't need it speaking if i'm navigating 'cause it's rather rare that i do that blind...
.. one realy good example would be a plugin to monitor disk space and issue a warning if running low on disk space... pause vid/audio playback (i prefer to have a chance to here that warning without running the risc to not perceive it cause of current playback), make your speech & resume playback...

lol actually it's for a dvd burning program to tell you when you've added too many files for the disk and tells you when the burn is completed..
[so if you're watching tv or something, you hear an added voice telling you 'dvd burning has completed...thank you' ]

same uses as a popup box...multitasked notification..
oh and get the microsoft Anna voice as it comes from Vista and blows away the others! [available in streets and strips cd or with Naturalsoft free Reader as a freebie..

also, i'm going to make an email notification that will read me the headers and senders instead of just 'ding'!

working out fantastic for me..

Inspired by this thread to look at Speech API I can offer this for the 'Can't be bothered to learn any .NET stuff or download anything' people of the world Here's a VBS that just says the command line:

Code:

Dim sp
    Dim vs

    Set sp = CreateObject("SAPI.SPVoice")
    Set vs = sp.GetVoices()
    Set sp.Voice = vs.Item(0)
    sp.Speak wscript.arguments(0)
    Set vs = Nothing
    Set sp = Nothing

Just save that as say.vbs and then you can :

say "Hello World".

Thanks for the heads up on how easy this is - I can feel new projects coming.
