In my windows service .NET 4.0 application I use SpeechSynthesizer to speech some text. In Windows XP works great, but on Windows 7 it doesn't play anything. Why?
(Microsoft Server Speech Platform Runtime 11.0 + Speech Text To Speech Voice Lucia)
many thanks, Riccardo
From Vista onwards, Windows services are prevented from interacting with the desktop. This includes sounds too. If you want your service to do interactive stuff, you need to run a helper app at logon that communicates with your service and can be instructed by your service to do the user interaction stuff.
Please try using System.Speech and System.Speech.Synthesize instead of Microsoft.Speech. I have developed a tool to recoganize the voice using System.Speech which is working good for me in Windows Vista, Windows 7. Please do a check whether your windows speech system is working or not.

To use "it-IT" culture
Private Sub CreateSpeechRecoginationEngine(culture As String)
Dim _culture As CultureInfo
For Each recognizer In SpeechRecognitionEngine.InstalledRecognizers
If recognizer.Culture.Name.Equals(culture) Then
_culture = recognizer.Culture
Exit For
End If
Next
If _culture Is Nothing Then _culture = SpeechRecognitionEngine.InstalledRecognizers()(0).Culture
SpeechRecognitionEngine speechRecoginationEngine = New SpeechRecognitionEngine(_culture)
End Sub
