Haha... I just freaked my co-worker out by making it say "I am a computer.  I want to be a real boy.  Can't you please help me?"

She honestly thought it was scary.  :)

No, but what an addition to this little routine THAT would be!

I did something similar to that to a girl (with a nickname of Smurffett)  in the office using the office stereo it's remote.  I had her going for 10 minutes soild. She thought the thing was possessed.    :ugly: :-D
 
I + XI = X is true ...  ... if you change your perspective.

AutoCAD will speak only if the OS is Windows XP, right?
Is it possible to detect the OS and call the "talking routine" only if it can talk?

(getenv "OS")

Did anyone figure out how to detect if sound is muted on the computer and set it to high?

You can make Win2000 speak also, but only if the proper updates have been installed. The first development of a speaking system I developed for AutoCAD was done on Win2000 and A2k.

The CD tray thingy can be done in VBA .. and you can call it in lisp ...

VBA Part (put in ThisDrawing window)
Code: [Select]
Private Declare Function mciSendString Lib "winmm.dll" Alias "mciSendStringA" (ByVal lpstrCommand As String, ByVal lpstrReturnString As String, ByVal uReturnLength As Long, ByVal hwndCallback As Long) As Long
Sub OpenCD()
 mciSendString "open CDAudio", vbNull, 0&, vbNull
 mciSendString "set CDAudio door open", vbNull, 0&, vbNull
End Sub

Lisp Part
Code: [Select]
(vl-vbarun "ThisDrawing.OpenCD")

Have fun

Ohh  I can see this now.

code a reactor  to some Autocad command to invoke the speaking part

With Something like

"Please don't do that, I don't like that. Your hurt me! So there fore I am going to open the CD tray."

Then open the CD tray.

Then load onto a persons computer
I + XI = X is true ...  ... if you change your perspective.

I have been following this thread, and have amazed my coworkers with  my talking computer.
Here is another way to really amaze those around you...

Keith back in 2002 this update failed Internet Explorer Navigation Sound Update on my Windows 2000 system
I can not get the speech to work, is there any hope or would I have to reinstall Microsoft Internet Explorer?
 
My sound does work & i can play movies with sound. Although I have had problems from time to time with some movies.

PS when I use the link Gary supplied, she just looks at me, not even trying to speak.  :-(

I found this info from others trying to get it to work on Windows 2000.
Code: [Select]
No one has gotten this to work in Windows 2000.
No amount of debuging, kicking or droping the computer on the floor will help.
Here is a section of code that I've included in our AcadDoc.lsp file that we're having fun with here at work.
Code: [Select]
(if (= (getvar "dwgname") "Drawing1.dwg");Run one time per new AutoCAD session
  (progn
    ;Create an association list of Login names and Called names
    (setq LoginNames@ (list ;Type Login names in all capitals
      (cons "JDOE" "John")
      (cons "RCAMPOS" "Ricky");Add names per your AutoCAD department
    ));setq
    (if (not (setq Name$ (cdr (assoc (strcase (getvar "LOGINNAME")) LoginNames@))))
      (setq Name$ "")
    );if
    (setq Hour# (atoi (substr (rtos (getvar "cdate") 2 2) 10)))
    (cond
      ((> Hour# 18) (SayIt (strcat "Good evening " Name$)))
      ((> Hour# 12) (SayIt (strcat "Good afternoon " Name$)))
      (t (SayIt (strcat "Good morning " Name$)))
    );cond
  );progn
);if
Here's the SayIt function
Code: [Select]
(defun SayIt (Phrase$ / Sapi)
  (setq Sapi (vlax-create-object "Sapi.SpVoice"))
  (vlax-invoke Sapi "Speak" Phrase$ 0)
  (vlax-release-object Sapi)
  (princ)
);defun SayIt
