Interactive Text-to-Speech (Windows, Perl)

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 );

	}

}
