## Discussion

Discussion Set the current voice on the current speechchannel to the specified voice. The speechInfo parameteris a pointer to a voice specification structure. Your applicationshould create the structure by calling MakeVoiceSpec(_:_:_:). SetSpeechInfo willreturn an incompatibleVoice errorif the specified voice is incompatible with the speech synthesizerassociated with the speech channel. If you have a speech channelopen using a voice from a particular synthesizer and you try toswitch to a voice that works with a different synthesizer, you receivean incompatibleVoice error.You need to create a new channel to use with the new voice. This selector works with the SetSpeechInfo function.
