VB6 Microsoft Speech Object Library

The Microsoft Speech Object Library is a programming library that allows developers to add speech recognition and synthesis capabilities to their Visual Basic 6 (VB6) applications. It offers a set of speech-related objects and methods that can be used to create speech-enabled applications.

The Speech Object Library provides various functions such as text-to-speech (TTS), speech recognition, and audio playback. Developers can create applications that can interact with users through voice commands, and also create applications that can output speech in response to user input.

To use the Speech Object Library in VB6, developers need to first add a reference to the library in their project. This can be done by selecting the "Project" menu in the VB6 IDE, clicking on "References", and then selecting "Microsoft Speech Object Library" from the list of available references.

Once the library is added, developers can use the various objects and methods provided by the library to create speech-enabled applications. For example, to use TTS, developers can create an instance of the SpVoice object and then call its Speak method to output speech.

Overall, the Microsoft Speech Object Library provides a powerful toolset for developers looking to add speech capabilities to their VB6 applications.
