Interactive Text-to-Speech (Windows, Perl)

minitotoro (Natalie) — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 19:59:29 GMT

This script calls the Windows OLE for the built in TTS. Type what you want the computer to say at the prompt and hit enter. To quit type ":q" (minus the quotation marks).



use Win32::OLE qw( EVENTS );



get_text();



sub get_text{

	$output_speech = ;

	chomp($output_speech);

	if($output_speech ne ":q"){

		say_this();

		get_text();

	}

}



sub say_this{

	my $myTTS = new Win32::OLE( "Sapi.SpVoice" ); 

	$myTTS->Speak( "$output_speech" );

	while( $myTTS->{Speaking} )

	{

		Win32::OLE->SpinMessageLoop();

		Win32::Sleep( 100 );

	}

}

Find & Replace in Word Document with Ruby

timmorgan (Tim Morgan) — Mon, 12 Nov 2007 14:48:47 GMT

I use this to open a "template" (really just a plain Word document with [text to replace] inside), do the substitutions, and save as a new filename.



require 'win32ole'



word = WIN32OLE.new('Word.Application')

#word.Visible = true # uncomment if you want to see it happen

doc = word.Documents.Open('c:\file_to_open.doc')

{

  'name' => 'Tim Morgan',

  'date' => Date.today.strftime('%B %d, %Y'),

  ...

}.each do |key, value|

  word.Selection.HomeKey(unit=6) # start at beginning

  find = word.Selection.Find

  find.Text = "[#{key}]" # text must be in square brackets

  while word.Selection.Find.Execute

    word.Selection.TypeText(text=value)

  end

end

doc.SaveAs('c:\output_file.doc')

doc.Close
