Automation Anywhere A360 is a powerful RPA tool that allows you to automate a wide range of tasks. But what if you want to add a human touch to your bot? That's where VB Script comes in! In this blog post, we'll explore how to make your bot speak using VB Script within Automation Anywhere A360.

Why Use VB Script for Text-to-Speech?

VB Script offers a simple and efficient way to convert text into speech. By integrating it with Automation Anywhere, you can create bots that not only automate tasks but also provide verbal feedback, read out messages, or even engage in basic conversations.

Steps to Make Your Bot Speak

1. Create a New Bot: Start by creating a new bot in Automation Anywhere A360.
2. Add a VB Script Action: Drag and drop the VB Script action into your bot's workflow.
3. Write Your VB Script: In the VB Script editor, use the Speak method to convert text to speech. Here's a basic example:

VB.Net

Dim speakText
Dim sapi
Dim args

speakText = WScript.Arguments(0)
Set sapi = CreateObject("SAPI.SpVoice")
sapi.Speak speakText

4. Configure Speech Settings (Optional): You can customize the speech output by adjusting properties like voice, rate, and volume. Refer to the SAPI documentation for more details.
5. Test Your Bot: Run the bot to hear the speech output.

Additional Tips

• Error Handling: Implement error handling to gracefully handle potential issues during speech synthesis.
• Dynamic Text: Pass dynamic text values to the VB Script action to make the bot speak different messages based on conditions.
• Speech Recognition: Explore advanced options like speech recognition to enable user interaction with the bot.
