Here is my advice: switch to PowerShell:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/PowerShell[^],
http://technet.microsoft.com/en-US/scriptcenter/dd742419.aspx[^].

Not only it has impressive purely scripting syntax, but it provides easy access to all of WMI and the power of .NET. There is absolutely no need to use VBScript or JavaScript with Windows Script Host, but it is also accessible.

Moreover, its recent version 3.0 finally provides really decent stepwise debugger and even very good Intellisense.

I put the first few lines of your BAT file into a BAT file and executed it. The quotes do appear in the filename.vbs file. I have Windows 8.

My BAT file looks like this:

SET /p var=What To Say:
echo speechtext=("%var%") > filename.vbs
echo set objspeech=createobject("SAPI.spvoice") >> filename.vbs
echo objspeech.speak speechtext >> filename.vbs

The filename.vbs looks like this:

speechtext=("Hello World") 
set objspeech=createobject("SAPI.spvoice") 
objspeech.speak speechtext

and when I execute it, I hear the "Hello World"

See it may have to do with the windows version because mine wold simply say

speechtext=("")
set objspeech=createdobject("SAPI.voice")
objspeech.speak speechtext

G4mm4R4y 31-Jan-13 19:38pm

Thank the heavens!

I rejected because a new problem was found please if you can remake the code or tell me the error

Mike Meinz 31-Jan-13 19:59pm

You use SET /P to set a parameter named word but you put word1 in the echo speechtext= statement. Same issue for all 20 of them.

Please mark the question as answered.

I found that before you said that but thanks. I think i did mark it as answered...?
