Play voice words sounds using Console.Beep .Net

Question

I use VS 2010, .Net 3.5, Win7 64 bits.

Can I use Console.Beep for "simule" human sounds (voice), maybe producing a synthesized voice sound ?

For example, using Beep for "simule" the sound of word "Error" ? any sample about it ?

Another samples using Console.Beep to play music chords and notes.

Is there any way I can get Console.Beep to play anything that sounds (voice, word Error) more like a chord or notes?

I want only use Console.Beep. (if it is possible,maybe) Simulation, not real voice. I don't mind it sounds like R2D2.

Solution

No IT IS NOT possible

you can find all you need in the System.Speech.Synthesis Namespace

using System;
using System.Speech.Synthesis;

namespace SampleSynthesis
{
  class Program
  {
    static void Main(string[] args)
    {

      // Initialize a new instance of the SpeechSynthesizer.
      SpeechSynthesizer synth = new SpeechSynthesizer();

      // Configure the audio output. 
      synth.SetOutputToDefaultAudioDevice();

      // Speak a string.
      synth.Speak("This example demonstrates a basic use of Speech Synthesizer");

      Console.WriteLine();
      Console.WriteLine("Press any key to exit...");
      Console.ReadKey();
    }
  }
}

The SpeechSynthesizer class provides access to the functionality of a speech synthesis engine that is installed on the host computer. Installed speech synthesis engines are represented by a voice, for example Microsoft Anna.

Human speech and music is a mix of a great number of frequencies whose intensity rapidly changes over time. Console.Beep() is capable of neither, it will never sound better than R2D2.

which is the prerrequisites for use Speech.Synthesis ? any .net assembly ? any Win32 API or component installed in Windows?

I have edited my answer. you need to add System.Speech as reference as well

[Kiquenet]

System.Speech works fine in Windows XP 32 bits, Windows 7 64 bits ? another system requeriment (any win32 api : kernel32,...) about System.Speech ?

[Massimiliano Peluso]

from windows XP works fine (you don't need to install anything as it is part of the windows installation)

[Kiquenet]

Only voice installed, Microsoft Anna (English United States). How can I installed more voice (Spanish) for System.Speech?

[Massimiliano Peluso]

you have to install a third part voice. I'm using this one for my project ivona.com/en
