Text-to-Speech : Making Nav Speak

I Personally feel, if you want it to be a tip & trick you should supply the code.
your link contains an errors:

1. you can't download the sample if someone wanted too.
2. You name it speaker but your code below shows SPvoice?

In Dynamics Nav all you need to do is create a automation variable as
Name DataType Subtype
speaker Automation Microsoft Speech Object Library'.SpVoice
and we are ready to go.

There's a bit more to it & why give the incorrect code?

Syntax for this would be
SpVoice.Speak(TextVar); //Synchronous Call
SpVoice.Speak(TextVar,1); //Asynchronous Call

What you're looking to do is like this....
Define Global
speaker---Automation---Microsoft Speech Object Library'.SpVoice
OnRename()
IF NOT ISCLEAR(Speaker) THEN
CLEAR(Speaker);
CREATE(Speaker);
Speaker.Speak(Text001);

*Where you can define Text001 in Text constants.

An example could be. OnRename of item table add that code with
Text001 as "Are you sure you want to rename this item"

I personally fixed it above 8)

I did find a good use for it. I have one code that always get's clicked thru so perhaps this will alert them more. (unless the sound is off)

I have added a field to the vendor table called "Variable Terms" type boolean.
We check off vendors that don't stick to or have specific terms, perhaps seasonal.

Since the terms could be simply NET30 or perhaps the next invoice just has a random due date ie/ 12/15/2010 etc.

we have alot of trouble with these types of vendors because the person posting PO's 99% of the time the terms on the vendor card are correct. So they just enter the invoice # & post.

I thought a message alert would help but not always. So now I added the voice along with the message alert & we'll give it a try tomorrow.

Text035 = "Document Date cannot be GREATER than the Posting Date on Order %1"
Text036 = "This vendor has a history of variable terms........ Please double check the terms for this invoice."

Vendor Invoice No. - OnValidate() //Purchase Header Table

//Mod Start
IF "Document Date" > "Posting Date" THEN ERROR(Text035,"No.");
IF "Variable Terms" THEN BEGIN
 IF NOT ISCLEAR(Speaker) THEN
  CLEAR(Speaker);
  CREATE(Speaker);
  Speaker.Speak(Text036);
 MESSAGE('Vendor %1 - %2\\Uses Variable Terms - Double Check Invoice!',"Buy-from Vendor No.",Name);
END;
//Mod End

E-ship would be the place where I would put this to use.

I can hear it now.

"Sales Order Found"
//CPP "Close Package Print"
//CSO "Close Sales Order"
//DAP "Are you sure you want to delete all the packages"

Sorry to go off topic for a sec - but when you print all the e-ship barcode commands there is only one without a description //X. I'm afraid to try it :-#. WHat does it do?

Yep, you can basically create your own set of commands. Try it, it really works!
