Play MP3 or WAV sounds via Visual Lisp

[DonB]

I would like to have a voice confirm the user's selection.

In my case, they are selecting a plumbing fitting from a listbox.

When they select a 2" Elbow for instance, the computer would say "2 Inch Elbow".

I can convert the text to MP3 or WAV with a Text-To-Speech program.

Does anyone know of a method to play this sound transparently without bringing up a player?

Thanks,

Don

Thanks.

I understand that there's no way to access this from Vlisp.

Bummer!

Would there be a way to build a hybrid app to call this VBA function from Vlisp?

Thanks again,

Don

If you have DosLib...there's a function to play a wav file...(dos_wav filename)

Hi Don,

Interesting idea. Curious if you are dealing with some visually impaired users, confirming what they selected visually with a voice prompt seems like, well, extra.

Hey, I didn't know that.

Great

It doesn't seem to work for me.

It returns T, but no sound :-(

Oh well...

I dont know why it didnt work for you, but i did a test and it did work here

(dos_wav "c:\\winnt\\media\\tada.wav")

I gotta ask, will they (wav files) be in a sweet Marion Monroe voice or the rough Drill Sgt. voice?

Murph

 

[DonB]

What's wrong with using both.

For errors, I'll use the Drill Sgt. voice and a mechanical hand to slap them upside the head.

Luis,

If I told you, everybody would have one, Ha Ha

Take Care,

Don
