Get or sets the output volume of the SpeechSynthesizer object.
Namespace:
Microsoft.Speech.Synthesis
Assembly:
Microsoft.Speech (in Microsoft.Speech.dll)
Syntax
Visual Basic (Declaration) |
---|
Public Property Volume As Integer Get Set |
Visual Basic (Usage) |
---|
Dim instance As SpeechSynthesizer Dim value As Integer value = instance.Volume instance.Volume = value |
C# |
---|
public int Volume { get; set; } |
Property Value
Type: System..::..Int32Returns the volume of the SpeechSynthesizer, from 0 through 100.
Remarks
You can use this property to set the combined audio output for both the synthesized voice and the audio files in a prompt. By contrast, the TtsVolume property affects only the output volume of the synthesized voice in a prompt.
Examples
The following example sets the level of the TTS voice to be compatible with the level of the WAV file ContosoWeather.wav, and then sets the combined output volume for the synthesized voice and the recorded audio file.
