How to Set up Windows to Speak Welcome Message on Login

When you start your Windows PC, it plays the startup sound (Windows 10 doesn’t play the startup sound by default). Well, besides Windows startup sound, you can also set up your Windows PC to speak a welcome message on user login. Yes, just like Jarvis in Iron Man movies. It means every time you log in to your Windows PC, it will greet you with a voice message like, “Welcome back, Dear”.

Well, that’s not very tough either. We can easily do this by using a simple visual basic (vbs) script. This script turns text into speech and it’s very simple and easy to use. So, you won’t require any coding knowledge to set it up. Just a few lines of code and you are done. The best part is that it works on all Windows versions be it Windows 7, 8/8.1, 10, or Windows 11.
