  <p>Hey Guys here's a puzzling problem, I have been asked to get one of my applications to talk so it can alert the operator when there is a problem on the machine.  Problem is they want to use a specific voice.</p>
  
  <p>What makes this even more difficult is the fact that it needs to say what the problem is and for one single peripheral there are over 70 error codes and there are 9 different peripherals connected that all need this feature.</p>
  
  <p>I've seen posts that explain how to use the text to speech engine by Microsoft (e.g. <a href="http://www.itechgiz.com/2011/01/create-a-simple-text-to-speech-application-in-visual-studio" rel="nofollow noreferrer">http://www.itechgiz.com/2011/01/create-a-simple-text-to-speech-application-in-visual-studio</a>) but fail to see how I can implement this.</p>
  
  <p>I'm guessing I'd have to get their guy to say specific phrases to get the sounds to be able to generate the words but haven't got a clue where to start!</p>
  
  <p>Any ideas, by the way must be C# Win forms?</p>
