                sp1.SpeakAsync(rbt2.Text);

                Thread.Sleep(1500);
            }
            //need more itemindex to be looped; because having 100 of records to be accessed.
        }
    }
}

What I have tried:

Without using repeater the audio is working perfectly , but I need to load 100’s of data to the page, so I bound to repeater. Using repeater the SpeechSynthesizer is not functioning. Please check my code and do the needful.
