Windows 7 can Welcome with Voice Message during Logon

Your Windows 7 PC can welcome you with an audio voice message when you logon with your username. Yes, you can setup the voice welcome facility by simple addition in your Windows PC without any additional software. Once I completed the addition suggested in below steps, my PC performs a voice message like “Hey Sanjeev, Welcome to your Windows PC” at the time of logon. You can set a message of your choice as well.

Trick to get Welcome Voice Message during Logon on Windows 7 PC

1. Copy below mentioned code and paste in a notepad

Dim speaks, speech
speaks=”Hi Diana, Welcome to your Computer”
Set speech=CreateObject(“sapi.spvoice”)
speech.Speak speaks

2. Save the file as .vbs file with any name of your choice, for example test.vbs file.

3. In place of “Hi Diana, Welcome to your computer”, you can write any message of your choice.

4. Now move the .vbs file into “startup” folder. You can get the startup folder by right clicking on the “Windows button” i.e. Start button on PC and select explore. Once you moved the test.vbs file over there, you can restart your computer and hear the message at the time of logon.

Location of Startup folder in Windows 7,

That’s it. This trick works on every edition of Windows 7. I am not sure whether this works in Vista or not, you can try and share your feedback. this trick doesn’t work on Windows XP SP1 machine, not sure for Windows XP SP3 as well.

Anyway, by using this trick, you can impress your friends and family members by showing them your talking PC.
