You cannot do so easily in managed code.

First you'll need to learn about PInvoke and interop[^].

Then you'll need to read the manual[^] and use interop to invoke SAPI5 functions in the Windows Speech API.

I'm not sure how much experience you've had with .NET so far but this may ba a bit ambitious. It took me a couple of years before I felt very comfortable with PInvoke and interop.
