How to slow down Voice Speed of Mary/Sam?

[Vikrama Sanjeeva]

Hi,
In Windows XP, Start-->Control Panel--->Speech--->Text To Speech,
there is an option of "Voice Speed". But how can I set "Voice Speed"
in the code? The code I am using is here:

*******************Code I am using from Sample*****************

Dim FileName As String
Dim FileStream As New SpFileStream
Dim Voice As SpVoice

'Create SAPI voice
Set Voice = New SpVoice

'Assume that ttstemp.txt exists
FileName = "c:\ttstemp.txt"

'Open the text file
FileStream.Open FileName, SSFMOpenForRead, True

'Select Microsoft Sam voice
Set Voice.Voice = Voice.GetVoices("Name=Microsoft Mary",
"Language=500").Item(0)

'Speak the file stream
Voice.SpeakStream FileStream

'Close the Stream
FileStream.Close

'Release the objects
Set FileStream = Nothing
Set Voice = Nothing
******************************************************************************

Bye,
Viki.

Take a look a the SpVoice.Rate property in the SAPI 5.1 documentation.
