In this tutorial, we learn how to add speech to a visual basic application. You can download the VB source code for this project by clicking on this link: Text-To-Speech
Once you have downloaded the source code, you need to open Visual Basic Express 2005 and clicking on File/Open Project. Then, navigate to where you downloaded the source and click on the file that has the .sln (solution) extension.
Three steps are important in using speech in a VB application:
1. Add a reference to Microsoft Speech Object by going to Project/Add Reference/Com tab
2. Add the Imports SpeechLib statement at the top of the module that will be using the speech.
3. Create a new SpVoice object and call Voice() to read the text.
If you have any problems locating the Microsoft Speech object, you may need to download Microsoft Speech SDK 5.1

By far, the best hosting company that I have found for .NET applications is Discountasp.net. Discountasp.net provides many SQL tools that make it easy to remotely manage your sql database directly from your computer that other hosting companies like GoDaddy do not.
