I tried this but hit a wall.
I used implib to create a BCB compatible library, but now I get the errors

[Linker Error] Unresolved external '_IID_ISpVoice' referenced from 
T:\UNIT2.OBJ
[Linker Error] Unresolved external '_CLSID_SpVoice' referenced from 
T:\UNIT2.OBJ

I found some references for this on Google, but no solution :-(

I also tried to use coff2omf to convert the sapi.lib library, but the 
resulting library is only 1Kb (the original sapi.lib has 39kB) and it gives 
me the same error message....
What am I doing wrong here ?

I had to recreate the sapi.lib file using a hint I found under
http://groups.google.com/group/microsoft.public.sapi5.beta/browse_thread/thread/266dbd95a122f538/67583689d599d4fa?lnk=st&q=#67583689d599d4fa

Now it works for me too :-)

Marc:
Been out all day and just saw your notes.
I don't recall having any problem with the sapi files.

I'm running XP MediaCenter which is XP Pro with Media Center added.
I also installed the same program on a PC with Vista Home Basic and it 
worked fine immediately on that computer.
What operating system are you using?

Then again, I'm using BDS 2006.  What are you using?

Maybe we can get someone from the B Team to clear this up.

bccsdk contains everything you need to develop SAPI 5. 1 app's. There is 
even one example supplied there. You can get it from http://bccsdk.sf.net

I went about it a little differently.
Import Type Library
// Type Lib: C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Speech\sapi.dll 
(1)
saved as \..\CBuilder5\Imports\SpeechLib_TLB.cpp

application.cpp
USEUNIT("..\..\CBuilder5\Imports\SpeechLib_TLB.cpp");

unit1.cpp
namespace { // anon

    ISpeechVoicePtr VoicePtr;
    SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags eSpeechVoiceSpeakFlags = SVSFDefault;

};

void __fastcall TfrmMain::Button1Click(TObject *Sender)
{
if (!VoicePtr)
    VoicePtr = CoSpVoice::Create();
VoicePtr->Speak(WideString("Hello world"),  eSpeechVoiceSpeakFlags);
// or
VoicePtr->Speak(WideString(Edit1->Text),  eSpeechVoiceSpeakFlags);
}

worked fine.

Hi Darko

Thank you for your message.
I downloaded bccsdk but could not find the SAPI sample :-(

Hi all

With your help I managed to get my first "Hello World" through the 
loud-speaker :-)
So now I try to implement a SpeakToFile call.
But here things get quite out of my hands (and competence).

When I include the "sphelper.h" needed for the SPBindToFile function, I get 
plenty of errors in the *.h files.
IE if I set the _DEBUG option I get the error _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG not defined 
in the SPDebug.h and many more errors complaining about missing definitions.
I searched my PC for a definition of _CRTDBG_MODE_DEBUG and could not find 
it. Does anyone know in which file the definition is supposed to be ?

So I compiled without _DEBUG and now am stuck with an error in the 
sphelper.h, on line 1858
    HRESULT hr = ::CoCreateInstance(CLSID_SpStream, NULL, CLSCTX_ALL, 
__uuidof(*ppStream), (void **)ppStream);

Error: Invalid use of __uuidof



I am using BCB professional, v6 (Build 10.161), OS on XP SP2
Does this version have any problems or missing files ?
I also tried with bccsdk of Darko Miletic, but no success neither.

Thank you for every idea to get me a step further !

I'm still trying to figure out why you are having trouble getting SAPI at 
all.
As far as I can see, it comes with the operating system.
Check your Control Panel / Speech and look at the Text To Speech tab.
If you can see at least one voice in the list, you should have SAPI 
installed.
Try selecting from the list (even if only one voice) or press the "Preview 
Voice" button.
If you can hear a voice, then everything should be there.

Now, if I'm all wet about this, I'd appreciate it if someone would let me 
know.
I repeat: I've been using SAPI in both XP Media Center and Vista Home Basic
and did nothing special to install SAPI.

I couldn't get the sphelper stuff to work at all - gave up and did things 
directly.

SAPI works, this was not the problem.
The issue I had was with the sapi.lib that came with the SAPI SDK. It was in 
a different format, so I had to recreate it.

This did the trick and now I was able to use its functionality (at least 
partly... see below)

This could be an idea...
Did you succeed in implementing a SpeakToFile solution? Where a WAV file is 
created rather than the text read through the loud speaker?

Sorry, no.  My application didn't need speech recognition.
Good Luck,

I wonder if anything in this article may help you :-

Easy enough using COM interfaces...

 sample program.

 ISpeechVoicePtr VoicePtr;
 ISpeechFileStreamPtr FileStream ;
WideString wsFile = "sample.wav";
SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags eSpeechVoiceSpeakFlags = SVSFDefault;

VoicePtr = CoSpVoice::Create();
FileStream = CoSpFileStream::Create();

if(FileStream->Open( wsFile, SSFMCreateForWrite, VARIANT_FALSE) == S_OK)
{    Label1->Caption = "file output ready...";
}
if(VoicePtr->_set_AudioOutputStream(FileStream) == S_OK)
{  Label2->Caption = "Using file output";
}
VoicePtr->Speak(WideString(Edit1->Text),  eSpeechVoiceSpeakFlags);
FileStream->Close()

dumps 'sample.wav' at local dir.
