Using vba speech library sapi.dll

[MalIra]

I am trying to use the Speech Object library SAPI.DLL. I have a routine that lists the available voices the system finds and debug prints the name and a sample is spoken. When I run it only two voices are found. However when I go to WIndows narrator which I believe is the underlying speech object that actually "speaks", I have five separate voices installed. One of these is for a non-English language and I would like to be able to have my VBA change languages and voices. So I could do something like "The word XYZ in English is pronounced ABC in language whatever." So before I can even attempt this, I need to figure out how to get VBA to recognize all the voices I have installed. Thanks for any comments or any good references..

Maybe via the Windows Registry …
