I wrote the following code to try to run code asynchronously and it seems not work:
using System;
using System.Collections.Generic;
using System.ComponentModel;
using System.Data;
using System.Drawing;
using System.Linq;
using System.Text;
using System.Windows.Forms;
using SpeechLib;
using System.Threading;
namespace WindowsFormsApplication1
{
public partial class Form1 : Form
{
static BackgroundWorker bg = new BackgroundWorker();
static SpVoice myVoice = new SpVoice();
public Form1()
{
InitializeComponent();
}
private void Form1_Load(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
foreach (ISpeechObjectToken token in myVoice.GetVoices("", ""))
{
comboBox1.Items.Add(token.GetDescription(0));
}
comboBox1.SelectedIndex = 0;
myVoice.Rate = -6;
bg.DoWork += new DoWorkEventHandler(bg_DoWork);
}
void bg_DoWork(object sender, DoWorkEventArgs e)
{
myVoice.Speak("hello , this is my world", SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFDefault);
}
private void comboBox1_SelectedIndexChanged(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
myVoice.Voice=myVoice.GetVoices("","").Item(comboBox1.SelectedIndex);
bg.RunWorkerAsync();
}
private void button1_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
try
{
myVoice.Speak("", SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFPurgeBeforeSpeak);
}
catch
{
}
}
}
}
The problem is when text to speech is running , the form seems freezed and I can't even push the button on the form.
