How To: Enable your PC to speak as you type!

Are you bored enough that you would want your PC to have the ability to speak?

Yes its possible, we're not joking! It's actually pretty simple. Anything you type in your PC, it will say it back to you. You can enable this option for fun, and maybe prank your friends or impress a fellow geek....

Think of it as a text-to-speech converter, and what's more: It's free!

Okay, so here's how it goes. You need to create a simple script. Open up a blank notepad file.

Copy the following code (as it is) into that blank notepad file.

Dim message, sapi

message=InputBox("What do you want me to say?","Speak to Me")

Set sapi=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")

sapi.Speak message

Now here's the important part. Click on File, and then 'Save as'. Look below at the filename and make sure it ends with a '.vbs' extension.

You will need to replace the '.txt' extension with a '.vbs' extension. Simple!

Now, just double click on the new file that's been created, and type in whatever you want your PC to say!
