Hi,
Does anyone have any input on this old post? I’m having the same
problem, but I can’t find any response to the post anywhere. Basically
it seems that win32ole doesn’t discover that SpVoiceInstance.Voice is
both a gettable and settable property:
irb(main):053:0> Win32::SpVoice.new.ole_get_methods
=> [Status, Voice, AudioOutput, AudioOutputStream, Rate, Volume,
AllowAudioOutpu
tFormatChangesOnNextSet, EventInterests, Priority, AlertBoundary,
SynchronousSpe
akTimeout]
irb(main):054:0> Win32::SpVoice.new.ole_put_methods
=> [Rate, Volume, AllowAudioOutputFormatChangesOnNextSet,
EventInterests, Priori
ty, AlertBoundary, SynchronousSpeakTimeout]
irb(main):055:0>
Is this a bug? The following is valid VB source code:
Set V.Voice = V.GetVoices().Item(List1.ListIndex)
So I’d expect something like this to work:
require ‘win32/sapi5’
v = Win32::SpVoice.new
v[‘Voice’] = v.GetVoices.Item(1)
But it doesn’t. I’ve tried all possible variants I can think of from the
documentation:
v.Voice = …
v.voice = …
v.Voice(…)
v.voice(…)
v[‘voice’] = …
v[‘Voice’] = …
v.setproperty(‘voice’, …)
v.setproperty(‘Voice’, …)
Basically I’d really love to get this to work properly. This weeks Ruby
Quiz inspired me to give a go at a “personal trainer” for my treadmill
sessions here at home. For now I’ve settled for a tiny VB .NET command
line app that sets the voice I want, and takes text as an argument. I’d
really love to have an all Ruby solution for this though.

Why does my attempt to set the voice fail?

I also tried v.setproperty(“voice”,hash[“MSMary”]) but got the same
result.
Any ideas?
Thanks,
