Speech Translation in C#

Speech Translation is used to convert text to speech or voice.This makes us to listen a voice from the speakers that reads some specified text. For these we need a library to develop a speech translation.

Library Name is : System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer;

This Library contain predefined class speechsynthesizer by using this class to convert the required text through the speakers.

Follow this step to Add SpeechSynthesizer Reference

Step :1
=======
Open visual Studio --> Expand Project ---> Click on Add Reference...

Step :2
=======
Open Add Reference ---> LeftPanel Expand Assemblies ---> Select Framework --->
in Center Panel Find System.Speech Library ---> Select or Checked ---> Ok.


Syntax:
======

--> Create the object of SpeechSynthesizer class:
SpeechSynthesizer ss = new SpeechSynthesizer();

--> Set the volume of voice (1 to 100):
ss.Volume = n;

--> Set the speed of speaking (-10 to +10):
ss.Rate = n;

--> Change the voice gender and age:
ss.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.xxxx, VoiceAge.xxxx);

--> Speak the text:
ss.SpeakAsync(message);

Program for Speech Translation :-
==============================

using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Speech.Synthesis;
namespace SpeechTranslationDemo
{
class Program
{
static void Main(string[] args)
{
Console.WriteLine("Enter text to speak:");
string TextToSpeak = Console.ReadLine();
SpeechSynthesizer ss = new SpeechSynthesizer();
ss.Volume = 100; //1 to 100 
ss.Rate = -3; // -10 to +10 
ss.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Female, VoiceAge.Child);
ss.SpeakAsync(TextToSpeak);
Console.Read();
}
}
}

using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Threading.Tasks;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using System.Speech.Synthesis;

namespace Speech_Translator
{
    public partial class SpeechTranslationForm : Form
    {
        public SpeechTranslationForm()
        {
            InitializeComponent();
        }

        private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
        {
            string TextToSpeak = txtSpeech.Text;
            SpeechSynthesizer ss = new SpeechSynthesizer();
            ss.Volume = 100; //1 to 100
            ss.Rate = -3; // -10 to +10 
            ss.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Female, VoiceAge.Child);
            ss.SpeakAsync(TextToSpeak);
        }
    }
