4. In the form's code-behind, add:

   using System.Windows.Forms;
   using System.Speech.Synthesis;
   
   namespace Sample
   {
    public partial Class Form1: Form
    {
     public SpeechSynthesizer _synthesizer;
     private void btnSpeak_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
     {
      _synthesizer = new SpeechSynthesizer();
      var words = txtWords.Text;
      _synthesizer.Speak(words);
     }
     public Form1()
     {
      InitializeComponent();
     }
    }
   }
