This may be a little hard to understand, so I'll try to explain this the best I can. There is a program called Echolink for amateur radio operators that connects repeaters through the internet around the world. You can have Echolink running on your repeater or tied to your radio on a simplex link (just a frequency). The Echolink developers have made a help file available about the API so that you can write scripts and programs for it. I'm trying to write a program that will look up the weather for any zip code sent through the link by DTMF tones (basically punching numbers on the radio's keypad) and then speak the weather over the air. Echolink does not have the ability to recognize text and "read", so I want to use the Microsoft Speech Agent to read the string. I need it to save that to a WAV file that I can then play on the air. Does anyone know how to incorporate the speech agent into a VB app, and also how to get a WAV file of the agent "reading" a string? Thanks for any help.
