Please! I looking for a Messenger Plus script that reads back messages that you receive via Microsoft Sam or Microsoft Anna. +speech does the right way I want it to but I don't want it to load the speech to text app built into Windows, its very annoying having it open the speech app everytime. I deleted the speech exe from my pc but then the +speech script returns an error saying my speech not configured right or I dont have speech 5.1 installed, I hat this, I just want a script that reads incoming messages. thats it. In the +speech script I see that it has to do with the code:

function OnEvent_ChatWndReceiveMessage(wnd, origin, message, messageKind)
{
    if(messageKind == 1 && settings["message"] == "true" && origin != Messenger.MyName) {
        speak(message);
    }

please if someone can find me a script like this that reads incomming messeges please send me it, or if you can make it please do so
also if the original creator of +speach is reading this please make a script just with the narrating part, not the speech to text thing.

I whipped this up fairly quickly (I was running around trying to find out how not to make it hang, then discovered the function could be made asynchronous anyway ).

You can make the script speak the person's name simply by changing the bSpkName var to true; however, this will always be true in the event of a group conversation.

EDIT: The script also just uses the default voice for speech; if you google for SAPI.SpVoice you should find what you need to change it to a different one on MSDN.

Thanx a bunch ryxdp, but your plsc file wont be able to open in messenger plus because it dosent have the ScriptInfo.xml in it, all messenger plus script ad on's must have this in it, I did the liberties of adding one to yours and repacking it into plsc format. I hope this works.

Oh, I had no idea they needed ScriptInfo files to work. I swear I've seen one or two that didn't have one, but oh well

Updated the original .plsc now

thanx ryxdp, this scripts works great, no errors or even a hint of windows speech.

now that the plsc file  has both the script and the info file in it you should consider uploading it into the Messenger Plus scripts page for people the download, I'm sure there are others looking for this script.

I might add on a couple more features before that though, like making it speak both you and your contact's messages, perhaps key-by-key speech (like "h, i, space, h, o, w, space, r, space, u, question mark"), and a GUI to make the SpeakName option a bit more easier to access.
