I...\t\t\t\t\t\t<span>Read more<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<h3>Step 1. Create VBScript via Notepad<\/h3>\n<p>You first need to create a VBScript containing the voice message and then put it in the Startup folder to execute it on Windows startup.<\/p>\n<p>To create the VBScript <strong>you need to open up Notepad<\/strong> first. Type <strong><code>notepad<\/code><\/strong> in Windows search bar and select <strong>Notepad<\/strong> from the list. In the Notepad, copy\/paste the below-mentioned code:<\/p>\n<pre>\r\ndim speech\r\ntext=\"Your Message\"\r\nset speech=CreateObject(\"sapi.spvoice\")\r\nspeech.speak text\r\n<\/pre>\n<h3>Step 2. Edit VBSCript, replace it with your message<\/h3>\n<p>Here, you can replace the <strong>Your Message<\/strong> part with your own text. Just <strong>remember to add the quotes<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-10-custom-welcome-message\/01-paste-code.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"190\" alt=\"pasting the codes\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 3. Save the VBSCript<\/h3>\n<p>Now click on <strong>File<\/strong>, go to <strong>Save <\/strong>and save the file with <strong>.vbs<\/strong> extension. You can name the file whatever you like, but it must have .vbs extension. For example: \u201c<strong>welcome.vbs<\/strong>\u201c.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-10-custom-welcome-message\/02-save-vbscript.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"579\" alt=\"save vbscript\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 4. Test the VBSCript<\/h3>\n<p>To test the file, <strong>open it (by double-clicking)<\/strong> and you should hear your message in the voice of the Window\u2019s built-in narrator.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Note:<\/strong> If you see a code error when you launch the VBScript, then <strong>try re-adding all the <strong>quotes <\/strong>(\u201d \u201c) in the code<\/strong> I provided. Sometimes a difference of font style can stop the script from working (happened to me).<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-10-custom-welcome-message\/03-open-vbscript.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"466\" alt=\"open vbscript\"><\/figure>\n<p>If you want to <strong>edit the script, then right-click<\/strong> on it and select <strong>Edit<\/strong>. You can modify the message part however you please and open the script to test the changes. The <strong>text narrator respects most types of punctuations<\/strong>, such as comma, full stop, or apostrophe, but punctuations like a question mark or exclamation mark will not be entertained.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-10-custom-welcome-message\/04-edit-script.jpg\" width=\"800\" height=\"399\" alt=\"edit script\"><\/figure>\n<p>Additionally, the <strong>narrator doesn\u2019t speak non-english words properly<\/strong>, such as your name. But you can help it pronounce better by entering the word as it sounds. For example, the narrator speaks my name better when I type \u201c<em>Kaaraar<\/em>\u201c, instead of \u201c<em>Karrar<\/em>\u201c.<\/p>\n<h3>Step 5. Place VBScript in Startup folder<\/h3>\n<p>After creating and testing the VBScript, let\u2019s drop it in the Startup folder to make it start up with Windows. Press <strong><span class=\"key\">Windows<\/span> + <span class=\"key\">R<\/span><\/strong> keys and type <strong><code>shell:startup<\/code><\/strong> in the <em>Run<\/em> dialog to open the Startup folder.<\/p>\n<p>Paste the VBScript inside here.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/assets.hongkiat.com\/uploads\/windows-10-custom-welcome-message\/05-move-script-to-startup-folder.jpg\" width=\"785\" height=\"302\" alt=\"move script to startup folder\"><\/figure>\n<h3>Step 6. Restart PC<\/h3>\n<p>Whatever is added to the Startup folder <strong>automatically launches when Windows start<\/strong> so same will happen to this script. Restart your PC, and you will be welcomed with your custom voice message when the desktop opens up.<\/p>\n<p>The <strong>voice message will play after the other startup programs<\/strong> so it may delay a bit depending on your startup apps. And later, if you want to get rid of the custom voice message, simply delete the script from the Startup folder or move it somewhere else.<\/p>\n<h2>Conclusion<\/h2>\n<p>As the <strong>custom voice message is using Windows built-in Narrator app<\/strong>, it should be able to speak out anything you type. In case you want to type a language apart from English, it would be better to type the word pronunciation instead of its exact spelling.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>In a previous post, I highlighted some ways with which you can manage the startup programs in Windows.
