UTTS: U++ Text to Speech
https://www.ultimatepp.org/forums/index.php?t=rview&goto=50677&th=10516#msg_50677
after a long fight with the includes here is a zero approximation Text To Speech app U++ based.
It uses the sapi.h library and try to replicate three actions (Speak, Pause and Stop) of a general application
(see https://www.ultimatepp.org/forums/index.php?t=msg&th=105 13&goto=50672&#msg_50672 for link and screenshot).
Unfortunately two very (VERY) important features are missing:
1) select the voice format (it affect the quality of the voice);
2) select the voice (English, Italian, etc... that affect the right pronunciation of the text).
This is done in the original application using Windows helper that retrieve the system default, but I am not able to translate in U++.
I hope somebody with more experience can have a look at it and add these two features that improve drastically the voice and pronunciation (it's not nice to listen my default Italian voice to pronunce english text!).
I had to modify the atlbase.h file to remove an annoying compiling error (see readme.txt file).
Thanks,
Luigi
edit: added package

I have upgraded the package (see first message to download it - an exe file is included for quick test).
I was able to add a DropLine with the available languages.
On my system I see Italian and English variants. I would like to know if other countries will list different languages depending by the OS setting.
The voice format was set to 16 bit, 44 kHz and Mono.
