The TTSMode object provides access to the mode information of the selected TTS engine. All the fields of the TTSMODEINFO structure are accessible through read-only properties of the TTSMode object. An application uses the object to identify the currently selected TTS engine and learn its capabilities and current configuration parameters. For example, the configuration parameters set by the WTE administration tool could direct WTE to use an English TTS engine, and the application could use the TTSMode object to discover the engine that was selected by SAPI.
An application retrieves a reference to the TTSMode object by using the TTSMode property of the ExOM object. The following table lists and describes the properties of the TTSMode object.
