import sys
from win32com.client import constants
import win32com.client
import string

speaker = win32com.client.Dispatch("SAPI.SpVoice")
print "Type word or phrase, then enter."
print "Ctrl+Z then enter to exit."

def backword(word):
   l = list(word)
   l.reverse()
   return ''.join(l)

def backsentence(sentence):
   words = sentence.split(' ')
   words = [backword(word) for word in words]
   return ' '.join(words)

while 1:
   try:
      s = raw_input()
      rev = backsentence(s)
      print 'I would say: ', rev
      speaker.Speak(rev)
   except:
      if sys.exc_type is EOFError:
         sys.exit()

It works on my xp :)


Yours sincerely,
