C# Set voice in Text to Speech

[Rockallica]

Hi, How do I set the voice in Text to Speech in C#? I have a toolStripMenu that I load the voices into. Then when one is chosen, I want it to use that voice. Haven't been able to figure set the voice to the chosen name. Thanks.

private void Get_Voices()
{
ISpeechObjectTokens voices = objSpeech.GetVoices("", "");

foreach (ISpeechObjectToken v in voices)
{
          ts\_Menu = new ToolStripMenuItem();

           v\_name = v.GetDescription(0);

           ts\_Menu.Text = v\_name;

           ts\_Menu.CheckOnClick = true;

           voicesToolStripMenu.DropDownItems.Add(ts\_Menu);
           
            ts\_Menu.Click += voice\_Menu\_Click;
 }

}

private void voice_Menu_Click(object sender, EventArgs e)
{
ToolStripMenuItem item = sender as ToolStripMenuItem;
foreach (ToolStripMenuItem tempItemp in voicesToolStripMenu.DropDownItems)
{

         if (tempItemp == item)
         {
               tempItemp.Checked = true;
          } 
           else
           {
               tempItemp.Checked = false;
            } 
       }

       choosen\_voice = sender.ToString();

}

private void Speak(string txt)
{

 SpVoice objSpeech = new SpVoice();

 objSpeech.Speak(txt, SpeechVoiceSpeakFlags.SVSFlagsAsync);
        
 objSpeech.WaitUntilDone(Timeout.Infinite);

}

See here: Speech - Text-To-Speech Synthesis in .NET | Microsoft Docs[^] - it includes sample code which does that.
