I've been using Microsoft TTS within perl for quite some time, however, I've never been able to get it to dump the speech into a WAV file, rather than playing out on the sound card. The idea is to pass this to a voice modem application.

Any ideas on how to do it would be greatly appreciated.

This is the code I'm currently using 

    sub talk
    {
        local $txt = $_[0];
 
        use Win32::OLE;
 
        local $voice = Win32::OLE->new("Speech.VoiceText") or die("TTS
+ failed");
 
        $voice->Register("", "$0"); 
        $voice->{Enabled} = 1; # optional
 
        $voice->Speak($txt,  1);
 
        while ($voice->IsSpeaking()) 
        {
            sleep 1;
        }
    }

Thanks!
