Parameters

Examples

The example that follows creates a PromptBuilder object and appends the contents of an SSML file using the AppendSsml method.

using System;  
using System.Speech.Synthesis;  

namespace SampleSynthesis  
{  
  class Program  
  {  
    static void Main(string[] args)  
    {  

      // Initialize a new instance of the SpeechSynthesizer.  
      using (SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer())  
      {  

        // Configure the audio output.   
        synth.SetOutputToDefaultAudioDevice();  

        // Create a PromptBuilder object and append a file that defines an SSML prompt.  
        PromptBuilder ssmlFile = new PromptBuilder();  
        ssmlFile.AppendSsml("c:\\test\\Weather.ssml");  

        // Speak the contents of the SSML prompt.  
        synth.Speak(ssmlFile);  
      }  

      Console.WriteLine();  
      Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");  
      Console.ReadKey();  
    }  
  }  
}  

The following is the SSML file that the preceding example references.

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="ISO-8859-1"?>  
<speak version="1.0"  
 xmlns="http://www.w3.org/2001/10/synthesis"  
 xml:lang="en-US">  

  <s> The weather forecast for today is partly cloudy with some sun breaks. </s>  

</speak>  

Remarks

The SSML file must be an XML-format file that conforms to the Speech Synthesis Markup Language (SSML) Version 1.0 specification.

You can also append SSML markup as a string using AppendSsmlMarkup.

          new System.Media.SoundPlayer(@"C:\test\weather.wav");  

        // Create the path to the SSML file.  
        string weatherFile = Path.GetFullPath("c:\\test\\Weather.xml");  
        PromptBuilder builder = null;  

        // Create an XML Reader from the file, create a PromptBuilder and   
        // append the XmlReader.  
        if (File.Exists(weatherFile))  
        {  
          XmlReader reader = XmlReader.Create(weatherFile);  
          builder = new PromptBuilder();  
          builder.AppendSsml(reader);  
          reader.Close();  
        }  

        // Speak the prompt and play back the output file.  
        synth.Speak(builder);  
        m_SoundPlayer.Play();  
      }  

      Console.WriteLine();  
      Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");  
      Console.ReadKey();  
    }  
  }  
}  

Remarks
