C++ text to speech application which acts as a personal assistant.
Firstly one must download and install espeak speech synthesizer. The link is:http://espeak.sourceforge.net/download.html Now the espeak.exe application must be placed in the same folder where the c++ application is being stored.
If you need to listen to the speech, then you must include these 4 lines of code:
string phrase = "whatever message you want to listen to"; string command = "espeak "" + phrase + """; const char *charCommand = command.c_str(); system(charCommand);
To open any file format in the system, then command is: ShellExecute(NULL,"open","file path",NULL, NULL, SW_NORMAL);
Note: in file path, please put two \ wherever there is one \
To open a browser: system("start url of browser"); Example: system("start https://www.youtube.com");
To open .exe files such as ms word,paint,excel notepad etc: CreateProcess(TEXT("file path"), NULL, NULL, NULL, FALSE, NULL, NULL, NULL, &startInfo, &processInfo);
To play audio using mcisendstring: mciSendString("open "path of audio" type mpegvideo alias mp3", NULL, 0, NULL); mciSendString("play mp3", NULL, 0, NULL);
