Hi , I have installed WINDOWS Xp on my machine. SAPI (Microsoft Speech API) is in built in WINDOWS Xp. I am trying to implement Text - To - Speech using a java script. But i couldnt succeed. Following is the code snippet i am running. <HTML> <HEAD> <SCRIPT LANGUAGE="JavaScript"> var VoiceObj = new ActiveXObject("Sapi.SpVoice"); var my_test = "my test for you today is an amazing example"; function SpeakText() { VoiceObj.Speak( my_test, 1 ); } SpeakText() </SCRIPT> </HEAD> </HTML> Above script is failing at the following line : var VoiceObj = new ActiveXObject("Sapi.SpVoice"); Error is : Automation Server cannot create object Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the above script. Do i need to install any other software on WINDOWS Xp to make Text - to - Speech work ? Can anyone tell step by step procedure to implement Text - To - Speech on Windows XP machine using Java Script. Code snippets are appreciable. Regds, Sreek

A trusted host environment like WSH or HTA is a better design choice for your solution. > Can anyone tell me what is wrong with the above script.

Hi Michel, I need this text to speech functionality in my JSP pages as well. In that case does HTA works ? My actual functionality could be as follows: 1. My web page should talk . 2. Alerts of my web page should talk. Most of the files are JSP pages. So please suggest me how can i achieve Text to Speech in JSP. I have tried saving my code with .hta extension and double clicked on it. I am able to hear the voice. But same code i have saved as .hta in my personal PC at home. And i doubled clicked on it. I couldnt hear the voice. Why is it working in one machine and not working in another machine. Both are same Windows XP machines.
