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 add content.
        PromptBuilder speakRate = new PromptBuilder();
        speakRate.AppendText("Your order for");
        speakRate.AppendText("one kitchen sink and one faucet", PromptRate.Slow);
        speakRate.AppendText("has been confirmed.");

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

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