Example

The following example shows the implementation of installTTSVoice, a method that installs a TTS voice that matches the target culture and desired gender, if available. This method loops through the installed voices in the synthesizer, searching for a voice in the target culture. After finding a voice in the target culture, it searches for a voice of the target gender. The highlighted lines of code shows how this method uses Synthesizer to get the installed voices and to set DefaultVoice.

/// <summary>
/// installTTSVoice - Sets the TelephonySession's Synthesizer members default voice to an 
/// installed voice matching at least the target culture.</summary>
/// <param name="targetCulture">CultureInfo object naming the culture to match.</param>
/// <param name="targetGender">VoiceGender object naming the desired voice gender.</param>
/// <remarks>
///<para>The method will install voice matching on culture and gender if available. If a
///voice matching only the culture is available that voice is installed.  If a voice 
///matching the culture isn't available the current voice is not changed.</para>
/// </remarks>

private Boolean installTTSVoice(CultureInfo targetCulture, VoiceGender targetGender)
{
  VoiceInfo candidate = null;
  foreach (VoiceInfo vi in this.Synthesizer.InstalledVoices)
  {
    if (vi.Culture.Equals(targetCulture))
    {
      if (vi.Gender.Equals(targetGender))
      {
        candidate = vi;
        break;
      }
      else
      {
        candidate = vi;
        continue;
      }
    }
  }

  if (candidate != null)
  {
  this.ApplicationHost.TelephonySession.Synthesizer.DefaultVoice = candidate;
  return true;
  }
  return false;
