tts.cs

// Compile: csc TTS.cs /o /r:Windows.winmd /r:System.Runtime.dll /r:System.Runtime.WindowsRuntime.dll

using System;
using System.IO;
using System.Threading.Tasks;

var synth = new Windows.Media.SpeechSynthesis.SpeechSynthesizer();

string text = Console.In.ReadToEnd();
var stream = await synth.SynthesizeTextToStreamAsync(text);

var fs = new FileStream("tts.wav", FileMode.Create);
stream.AsStream().CopyTo(fs);

stream.CloneStream();
fs.Close();
