mudreader

Does anybody have an alternative to the mudreader that will work with CMUD?

Roll your own using the ActiveX Object Sapi.SpVoice
The interface is described here
If you already have mudreader you probably have the necessary DLLs to make it work.
If not download the Microsoft Text-to-Speech Package
| Code: |
#var sapi %comcreate("Sapi.SpVoice")
#call @sapi.Speak("Stuff and Junk") |
It doesn't sound very good out of the box but if you read the first link I gave you can probably tune it till it sounds better.
Good luck.
EDIT:
You'll probably want to change the call to @sapi.Speak to an asynchronous call, that way you're session is not blocked waiting for the voice to finish speaking.
Change the call to Asynchronous by passing 1 as the second param to the Speak method. |

When i call the alias I get a floating point error
alias xSpeak
Script:
#var sapi %comcreate("Sapi.SpVoice")
#call @sapi.Speak(%params)
I made sure i had all the text to speech stuff installed. |

What do you get when you enter this at the command line?
| Code: |
#var sapi %comcreate("Sapi.SpVoice")
#call @sapi.Speak("Test",1) |

You don't need to make the connection every time, too. Change the first line to
#if (!@sapi) {#var sapi %comcreate("Sapi.SpVoice")}
or remove it. |

That worked. I changed the alias to include the ,1
#var sapi %comcreate("Sapi.SpVoice")
#call @sapi.Speak(%param,1)
Thanks for all the help! |
