Re: Win32::OLE get list of installed voices

[Discipulus]

Hello Takamoto,

I found a sub in an experiment of mines dating 2007.. I rearranged for you:

use strict;
use warnings;
use Data::Dumper;
use Win32::OLE;

my %voices = SAPIgetVoices();

print Dumper \%voices;

sub SAPIgetVoices{

    my $tts = Win32::OLE->new("Sapi.SpVoice") or die "Sapi.SpVoice fai
+led";
    my %VOICES;
    for(my $VoiceCnt=0;$VoiceCnt < $tts->GetVoices->Count();$VoiceCnt+
++)
    {
        my $desc = $tts->GetVoices->Item($VoiceCnt)->GetDescription;
        #print "descr= $desc\n";

        $VOICES{"$desc"} = $VoiceCnt;
    }
    return %VOICES;
}

# OUTPUT

$VAR1 = {
          'Microsoft Elsa Desktop - Italian (Italy)' => 0,
          'Microsoft Zira Desktop - English (United States)' => 1
        };
