Yes, my SpeechLibDesktop library Text To Speech library (desktop only) wraps the COM object "Microsoft Speech Object Library".

However you may or may not have STAThread/MTAThread issues which I have had on previous attempts to use COM controls with B4PPC - but something has changed with the new builds of B4PPC that lets at least one of the previously failed attempts now work. I am trying to clarify the situation with Erel.

EDIT :- Erel has confirmed that as from version 6.5 the desktop threading model is STAThread which means that COM controls should now be usable. I have a WebBrowser control library for the desktop that now runs and is nearly ready to go so now that Erel has confirmed the change I will polish and post it.
