Once a Speech object is returned, you can use the Speak method of Speech object to play back the contents of a string. In the following example, Microsoft Excel plays back "Hello". This example assumes speech features have been installed on the host system.

Sub UseSpeech()

    Application.Speech.Speak "Hello"

End Sub()
