Text to Speech on Windows 7?

$

Ok, so I just remember one of the 'old' days program, a two line one, which was fascinating when I was younger. The code is

Code:

Private Sub Command1_Click()
Set TtS = CreateObject("SAPI.spVoice")
TtS.speak Text1
End Sub

Pretty simple, worked fine on XP (my friend, to whom I mailed it, claims to) but throws just abrupt silence on my Windows 7. I know that this is because I am missing Speech Libraries or the required Control. I have been searching from morning and all I could get to was, "Microsoft Direct Text-To-Speech control" is what I need. And the hunt for it has come to nothing upto now, I couldn't just locate that 'part' of the download. I go to Microsoft speech sdk, there is 5.1 which has about 5 download, one of which weighs 300+ and the rest are under 100. Are these what I should be downloading? OR should I get SDK 11? Which is within 5 all together? I am totally clueless, or do I need 5.1 + 11 to get it working on Windows 7? Or is there an alternative to this?

Could anyone help me with this? Thanks in advance.
