This is a mirror of the code accompanying my 2007 CodeProject Article - "audio_ostream - A Text-to-Speech ostream".

In the article, I show you how to add Text-to-Speech (TTS) to your program with a single line of code using the familiar standard std::ostream syntax.

The header-only code depends on 3 libraries:

• COMSTL and STLSoft;
• Boost.iostreams
• Microsoft SAPI SDK

However, the general concepts presented should be easily ported to using other TTS SDKs.

Using the code cannot be easier:

#include "audiostream.hpp"
using namespace std;
using namespace audiostream;
int main()
{
   audio_ostream aout;
   aout << "Hello World!"  << endl;

   // some more code...
   
   return 0;
}

This little program will, obviously, say "Hello World!".
