Convert Coding into VB?

Can anyone help convert this coding into vb?

Command Button - Control Name: Speak

On Click CODE:

FORM METHOD="post" NAME="demoForm" ACCEPT-CHARSET="iso-8859-1"
ACTION="http://hegel.research.att.com/tts/cgi-bin/nph-talk"
input type="text" NAME="txt" size="30"
input type="hidden" NAME="voice" VALUE="crystal"
INPUT TYPE="submit" NAME="speakButton" VALUE="Speak"
/FORM

I wouldn't even know where to start!

Thanks!
Curtis

I wouldn't assume it's possible to convert that to VB (or, since this is an
Access newsgroup,VBA): it appears to be passing data to a web page using the
POST method.

If your intent is to get your application to read text, take a look at my
January, 2006 "Access Answers" column in Pinnacle Publication's "Smart
Access". You can download the column (and sample database) for free at

I can't remember if I ever actually used this or not, but I had the link
stored in my IE favourites, and it looks as though it may possibly be of
interest to you ...

I have tried to take your file, make necessary changes to fit mine and
getting errors. Mind helping, should be easy. I want it to use Sam by
default, no option or pull down for any other voice. Volume will always be
50 & rate - 1, so wont need those pull downs.

My Speak or command button is named cmdSpeak. The box that wholes my text,
its name is Contact, so Me.Contact.

Everything else don't want or use.

Can you help, if it is easy to do?

Thanks
Curtis

I don't remember, onload, got focus, etc. I basically important the
frmSAPIDemo form only, nothing else. It did it, but when I take your
database file & delete EVERYTHING but that one form, it works great no probs,
but when I import that form into my database, gives me errors....

PMFJI, but I believe Doug's demo needs a reference (in the VBA editor, from
the Tools menu, choose References) to the Microsoft Speech Object Library
(C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\sapi.dll). Have you
added that reference to your new MDB?

While the sample database does have a reference to sapi.dll, it shouldn't be
required for text-to-speech. I just loaded up the database, removed the
reference, and the samples worked for me..

As I explain in the article, it was only speech-to-text that wouldn't work
with Late Binding.

Curtis: if you expect help, you're going to have to be a little more
explicit in what's not working. The exact error message, the exact code,
etc. You've already confirmed that the sample code works, so it's got to be
something in your code.

I'm doing the text to speech, type something in & it talks to me.

Ok, I created a new sample clean db, imported the frmSAPIDemo form only.
Opened form it says:

The expression on load you entered as the even prop setting produced the
following error: user-defined type not defined. HIT ok

Another error saying: ListVoices may not be a valid setting for the
RowSourceType property or there was a compile error in the function.

Curtis

I see nothing in the form's Load event that should raise that error. What
specific code is it complaining about? (You may have to do a Compile, under
the Debug menu).

The ListVoices function is in that form's code, and it definitely compiles
properly even if there's no reference set to sapi.dll.

I'd expect that once you fix the error(s) uncovered by the Compile, both
errors should be fixed.
