Wow!. Nice one @vvaidya… Thanks

If you want the speaker to spell out the User Name using the Robot, you can use below.

System.DirectoryServices.AccountManagement.UserPrincipal.Current.DisplayName

Hi @vvaidya,
I have downloaded System.Speech dll and kept inside this "C:\Windows\Microsoft.NET\Framework\v4.0.30319" path, but when i am trying to browse for the System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer i am not able to get that type. Could you please let me know how to get variable type of SpeechSynthesizer

[vvaidya (Vinay Vaidya)]

Did you import the namespace from imports section?

This is a rudimentary custom activity if you want to use.

Speed -10 to 10
Volume - 0-100

@vvaidya I didn’t imported but when i tried to import its not displaying anything . Please let me know how to import.

[vvaidya (Vinay Vaidya)]

Please add this manually to your xaml (open in note pad) and try again.

Thanks Abhay, but still for assigning variable synth=New System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer(). we require speechsynthesizer as data type which i’m not getting.

[palashkhandalkar (palash)]

Ok got it, as mentioned by @vvaidya open your main xaml file (with notepad++) which contains speechsythesizer variable. Add line shown in image
inside <sco:Collection x:TypeArguments=“AssemblyReference”>. Then you will get variable type as speechsynthesizer.

[abhay]

have you got the solution ?

[palashkhandalkar (palash)]

Yup. thanks buddy @abhay
