I used the above code in my program and came up with 2 bugs. The line with "SayGreeting(str)" get an error: "Name 'SayGreeting' is not declared." Also, when changing the voice setting using the combobox, there is no change. Whether I change before or during read back, no change is made. It uses the default set in the Speech Control Panel.
