SAPI Creating WAV file

[Calvin H. Chipman]

I was looking for the same thing and couldn't find it, so I created the solution and posted here:

VB Example

'Here is a VB example that I'm trying (unsuccessfully) to convert.
'Any pointers would be helpful

Dim FileName As String
Dim FileStream As New SpFileStream
Dim Voice As SpVoice

'Create a SAPI voice
Set Voice = New SpVoice

'The output audio data will be saved to ttstemp.wav file
FileName = “c:\ttstemp.wav"

'Create a file; set DoEvents=True so TTS events will be saved to the file
FileStream.Open FileName, SSFMCreateForWrite, True

'Set the output to the FileStream
Set Voice.AudioOutputStream = FileStream

'Speak the text
Voice.Speak “hello world”

'Close the Stream
FileStream.Close

'Release the objects
Set FileStream = Nothing
Set Voice = Nothing

Using SAPI 5.1 and the sample posted by Jose, it was very easy to use text to speech. Is there an example of saving the output to a WAV file instead of "speaking" it?
