Com Object remote
I have written a script to use sapi voice command by using a com objectHowever I do not know how to execute so that it will play over the speakers of a remote computer.$a = new-object -comobject sapi.spvoice$a.speak( "warning" )It really does not matter which com-object here just something I am trying to figure out to see if it is possible. This way I can see what options may open up through this route. So the why is not important but the is it possible and how is much more important. Thank you for your help.
Com Object remote
The spaech API does not support remote activation.
It would be cool. I could drive all of my co-workers nuts with this if it did remotely activate.
Each COM object has it's own activations. Some are designed for remoting others aren't. It is on an obect-by-object basis so you have to check with each one to see how.
Also note that PowerShell V1 would not be able to do this easily unless the COM object were build specifically for the threading model of PoSH. Most aren't designed for use with PoSH although many will work correctly.
Again - it's case by case.
