This function does not work under Windows Vista/2003 or newer. This is because services such as IP-Symcon, for security reasons, can not access interactive components in the system. The Text To Speech output is such an interactive component. The problem manifests itself with the error message: OLE error 80045063
extract MSDN : SPERR_NOT_ACTIVE_SESSION.
“Neither audio output nor input is supported for non-active console sessions.”
As Alternative should the function TTS_GenerateFile in connection with the media player be used.
Example
TTS_Speak(12345, "Hallo Welt!", true); //Wait until it was spoken to the end
