Hi,
I used

speechSynthesizer.Speak()

for text to speech. but i am unable to set voice as i want, there are only few settings available in C# like age,gender etc

i want to have voice like in IGI game. (Mission briefing by girl at start of IGI mission)
is it possible to have that one. ?

What I have tried:

synthesizer.SelectVoiceByHints(VoiceGender.Male, VoiceAge.Senior);

I'd start by using VS to browse the System.Speech assembly. Search on "Speak" specifically ... see the 40 or so odd returns ... and double click on 'em. Or hit F1 and foil any nebulous preconceptions which condense before they become nefarious and unuseful. When usg VS Object Browser do as the doctor would do (if he didn't already know exactly what to do without it ... already).

Ummm...Most voice audio is games is pre-recorded and played back. It's not voice synthesis.

You can get other TTS voice packs from sites like Zero2000[^], CereProc[^], Ivona[^], Cepstral[^], ... and the like.

Warning: Free ones are usually not high quality!
