Microsoft Speech Platform
ISpVoice::SetRate
ISpVoice::SetRate retrieves the current text rendering rate adjustment. The default rate for a voice is set through Speech properties in Control Panel.
HRESULT SetRate(
long RateAdjust
);
Parameters
- RateAdjust
- [in] Value specifying the speaking rate of the voice. Supported values range from -10 to 10 - values outside this range may be truncated.
Return values
| Value | Description |
|---|---|
| S_OK | Function completed successfully. |
| E_INVALIDARG | One or more parameters are invalid. |
Remarks
Voices do not all have the same default rate.
The granularity of the rate is engine dependent.
Applications can adjust the rate of a voice either through this function call, or through XML passed to the voice with the input text of a speak call. The voice should combine rate adjustments made in these two ways to arrive at a final rate.
