    In Visual Studio C#. I cannot find a Text To Speech library in languages other than English, does Visual Studio C# support the Text To Speech library for Vietnamese ? or 3rd party supported libraries for C# language.

            I never tried out this software, and time doesn't allow me to learn the API to write an application using it. Is this functionality integrated into some freely available application? For a couple of years, a hobby of mine has been collecting Norwegian homographs, ie. words with identical spelling but different meaning and pronounciation. So I have written a text competing with "English is tough stuff": To entertain a party, ask one of those present to read the text out loud (with no preparations). I find it difficult myself to get everything right... I'd like to try out that text on some speech generator, to see how well it succeeds in determining the right pronounciation from context. (In a couple of places, two different pronounciations are valid, even in the same context, but the meaning is different. Most places, selecting the wrong pronounciation results in a meaningless statement.) Note that this is a Norwegian text; translation of such stuff is usually meaningless. (My early interest in homographs were triggered in my teenage days, when I didn't know English that well, especially rock music terminology. So when I saw this LP cover where one guy was listed as playing lead guitar, I made a laugh, believing that it was a joking term for a heavy bass guitar, heavy as lead! I pointed it out to my buddies, and they thought I was making a really great joke - they never realized that I had truly misunderstood and misread the term!)

                Hi Richard MacCutchan! I am mistaken, in the list of Vietnamese language support, Apparently only support Vietnamese online ? While I want to find the *.dll library that can be added to the program that runs offline, did you find the library to use offline for the C# programming language ?
