Hi
Does anyone know if its possible to interface OCR and Text to voice software using VB.
I'd like to use availabe OCR and Text to voice software without having to open and start them separately
e.g. scan text using OCR then text is read back automatically using text to voice software.
I'd like to achieve this in one operation, without having to constantly be clicking icons on screen etc.
Is this possible??!!!

Depends on the software your using and whether or not these pieces have an automation or COM interface, or if you can get a usuable output from the OCR software and get the speech software to use it, ...
I'll say it IS possible. How your going to be able to this is an entirely dependent on the OCR and Speech software you are using and what you want to scan and read.

Hopefully will be scanning only basic text documents.
Could you recommend any OCR or Text to voice software..free VB OCR/Speech software if you know of any..my budjet really wont stretch to commercially available software!!!
Will any of this be possible without access to the source code....
Thanks

"Hopefully"? 'Hopefully' doesn't sound like a good start. Keep in mind that OCR software is FAR from perfect and reading filled in forms is a huge pain ... and handwriting, forget it!
There is open source OCR on SourceForge.net. I'm not familiar with the specifics of any of the projects, but there might be something useful there.
As for Speech, Microsoft has a Speech SDK available here[^]

Is it possible to create array of winsock ports in a VB DLL?
|
|
|
|
|
What do you mean by an "array of winsock ports"? What are they going to be used for? And which version of VB? And are you going to be using this DLL exclusively in another VB app or in a C/C++ app?

Hi
I am pretty new to this, so I hope the question is not too dumb. I am trying to get a tab control to look halfway decent on a form with a color background. It seems I can set the backcolor on individual tabs, but I always end up with a grey border and tabs. Is there any way around this?
Thanks
Trevor Doble

I am writing a program using the tab control. For no reason it keeps re-arranging the order of the tabs, which has to be fixed by manually going into the collection and re-setting the order. Well now it decided to make my controls on a couple of the tabs dissappear? The controls still exist as far as vb is concerned because the defenitions and properties are still accessible, but they are not visible. I have tried bring to front/back, deleting things to see if they are behind, restarted vb, rebooted, moved things, and they are no where to be found????
any one had this problem, cuz it sucks.......
thanks

I'm trying to make a splash screen where the program opens with frmOpen, and the form stays up for 5 seconds, and then frmMain should open.
I know, it's probably silly, but I'm a total newbie in VB
Thanks,
kobi

go to project explorer window..right click on your project name->add->form->choose a splash form...
vb has a inbuilt splash form...
then set yourpoject properties startup object as frmSplash that u just added..
as for the five seconds
add a times set it to 5 seconds(which i think is a bit too long)
and on the routine of time unload the splash form and load your first form

I must be doing something very wrong, but I don't see any reference to splash screen in the new items I can add in the VB project.
There are lots of forms, source files, scripts, and other stuff, but no splash screen.
What I need is help withthe timer control.. how to code a " hold the form1 open for X seconds and then close form1 and open form2"
thanks,
Kobi.

Hold the current thread for a while..
Thread.CurrentThread.Sleep(5000)
This code waits for 5 seconds...
Free your mind...
|
|
|
|
|
does it allow for any action to be performed on the form during those 5 seconds? like clicking?
thx.
|
|
|
|
|
Do you wanna build splash screen ?, if so, why you wanna performs clicks on the form ?
Give it a try man, it won't take more than 5 minutes.
Free your mind...

I wish it was that simple..
I need to put an easter egg in the opening form.
I have a "about" button there, and I have a timer control set to 5000, with a ME.Close() code in the timer_elapsed(..) function, but I don't know how to open the next form I want to be opened.

i wouldn't suggest putting th emain thread to sleep....
cause when u show the splash screen the user must have the opetion to click the splash screen to make it go away..so i suggest using a timer and then on click put unload form
for splash screen...are u able to add it yet?

I go the main form to close, using a timer, but I don't know how to make a different form open after the "splash" screen closes.
|
|
|
|

OK. Your main form is NOT your splash screen. What you do in your main form is this: (From memory...so there may be some mistakes...)
Private Sub Form_Load()
Dim SplashScreen As New Form2
SplashScreen.Show()
End Sub
Now, Form2 is your splash screen. It has the timer on it and enables the 5 second countdown in it's Form_Activate or Form_Load event. When the timer expires, in it's event, just close the form:
Private Sub Form_Activate()
Timer1.Interval = 5000
Timer1.Enabled = True
End Sub
Private Sub Timer1_Timer()
Me.Close
End Sub
During the 5 second countdown, your Splash screen is able to respond to events just like any other form.
