Let Your Computer Talk and Welcome You

Have you ever watched Sci Fi films? Where computers talk or even greet whoever would power them on. I have always been fascinated with that kind of technology, but what if I tell you that we could actually do that. Our very own computers will greet us whenever we push that button. So I believe this would be a dream come true to all of you who have always wanted to do this.

But how can we do that?

Here are the steps in making your computer talk and welcome you:

1. Open a Notepad, you can find this by clicking on Start then navigating on All Programs then Accessories and you'll see Notepad.

2. Next thing you need to do is to copy and paste this code:

Dim speaks, speech

speaks="Welcome to your PC, Master"

Set speech=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice")

speech.Speak speaks

You can replace Master with any name that you want to be called.

3. Save the file as a .vbs file.

4. Copy the file to:

if you are a Windows XP user:

go to C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

if you are a Windows 8, Windows 7(just like me) and Windows Vista User:

go to C:\Users\(username)\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup

Then paste the .vbs file in this folder.

Since AppData is a hidden folder then you need to change the folder settings. You can do that by:

Open a folder then hit Alt, then you will see the options File, Edit, View, Tools, Help. Click on Tools.

Then choose Folder Options and click on View. Look for the Hidden files and folders option and choose the Show hidden files, folders and drives. And just hit Apply then Ok and you're done.

You may also change your sound schemes to No sound for best result by doing this steps:

1. Access your Control Panel then go to Hardware and Sound.

2. Hit Change System Sounds and look for Sounds tab. Then change Sound Scheme to No Sounds. Just click Apply and Ok then you're good to go.

So now you are finally done with this trick, so whenever you turn your PC on you will always be greeted by your Computer. Now that's amazing! Why not try it yourself and enjoy.
