Brethern --

I know how to get text to speech work thanks to Rudif in this thread.

But how do you specify what engine you want to use? I have the AT&T NaturalVoices engine but when I use the code snippet below, it uses the MS TTS. It does this even after I go into my Windows-->Control Panel-->Speech and specify the AT&T voice.

Any ideas?

Thanks,
mdog

use strict;
use warnings;
use Win32::OLE;

# Set up speech.

my $voice = Win32::OLE->new("Speech.VoiceText") 
    or die("TTS failed");

$voice->Register("", "$0"); 
$voice->{Enabled} = 1; # optional

my $question = <<__EOS__;
    Would you like to play a game? How about global thermonuclear war?
__EOS__

my $answer = <<__EOS__;
    
__EOS__

$voice->Speak($question,  1);
$voice->Speak($answer,  1);

while ($voice->IsSpeaking()) {
    sleep 1;
}
