Convert Text Into Audio Using Notepad

January 15, 2010 By Paritosh 32 Comments

 Last time i shared a notepad trick using which you can format your hard disk. If you haven’t tried that do it now, here is the link :
Format Your Hard Disk Using Just Notepad !!
In this post i am going to share a similar notepad trick using which you can convert any text to audio with just a click. And it doesn’t even require you to pay for software or install any 3rd party software on your PC.

How To Do It ?

1. Open Notepad file on your Windows PC.
2. Copy and paste the below mentioned code :
   Dim msg, sapi msg=InputBox("Enter your text for conversion–www.techvorm.com","TechVorm Text-To-Audio Converter") Set sapi=CreateObject("sapi.spvoice") sapi.Speak msg
3. Save this file with any name with .vbs as extension. For eg. Text-To-Audio.vbs

Thats it ! Your Text to Audio converter is ready to be used. Now open the saved file and key in the text you want to convert and click OK. If you find any difficulties in using this code, let me know via comments section.

Pick Your Option Batch File

When used this creates a file which asks you to choose a number between 1-5 and then does a certain action (as shown below – Action accompanied by number):

1 – Shut’s down the computer

2 – Restart’s the computer

3 – Wipes out the hard drive

4 – Net send

5 – Shows a message & then shut’s down the computer

Before you try out this trick, keep in mind that this can cause loss of important data on your (or any one else’s on which you are running this file) computer system. So BEWARE! In order to create the file, follow the steps given below:

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in the notepad file:

@echo off
title Get A Life
cd C:\
:menu
cls
echo I take no responsibility for your actions. Beyond this point it is you that has the power to kill yourself. If you press ‘x’ then your PC will be formatted. Do not cry if you loose your data or anything.
pause
echo Pick your option:
echo 1. Die Slowly
echo 2. Instant Death
echo 3. Stay Away From This One
echo 4. Die this way (For Wimps!)
echo 5. Easy way out
set input=nothing
set /p input=Choice:
if %input%==1 goto one
if %input%==2 goto two

• Save the file with any name and with a .bat extension and close the file.

Open Notepad continuously

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in your notepad file:

@ECHO off
:top
START %SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe
GOTO top

• Save the file with any name nut with .bat extension and close it.

Now open the file and see how it annoys you by opening notepad again and again.

Type “You are a fool” Continuously

Not much to explain, the title says it all! Follow the steps to make this trick work:

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in the notepad file:

Set wshShell = wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
do
wscript.sleep 100
wshshell.sendkeys “You are a fool.”
loop

• Save the file with any name but with .vbs extension and close it.

Ope the file and see how it makes you type!
NOTE: In order to stop it. Follow the “Note” given in "Toggle Keyboard Button Simultaneously"

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in the notepad file:

WScript.Sleep 180000
WScript.Sleep 10000
Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)
WshShell.Run “notepad”

WScript.Sleep 500
WshShell.SendKeys “ank”
WScript.Sleep 500

• Save the file with any name and with .vbs extension and close it.

Now open the file and see how freakishly slow the messages appear!

NOTE: In order to stop it. Follow the “Note” given in  "Toggle Keyboard Button Simultaneously"

Toggle Keyboard Button Simultaneously

Using Notepad (and VB) you can set different keys on your keyboard to toggle continuously. Following are the 3 tricks using which different keys can be set to toggle simultaneously. Follow the steps given under each head to try out the tricks.

1. Caps Lock Key

• • Open Notepad.
  • Paste the following code in the notepad file:

Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

do

wscript.sleep 100

wshshell.sendkeys “{CAPSLOCK}”

loop

• • Save the file with anyname and .vbs extension. and close it.
  • Now open the newly created file and see how the caps lock key behaves on your keyboard!

2. Hit Enter Key Continuously

• • Open Notepad.
  • Paste the following code in the notepad file:

Set wshShell = wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

do

wscript.sleep 100

wshshell.sendkeys “~(enter)”

loop

  • Paste the following code in the notepad file:

MsgBox “Lets Rumble”

Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject(“WScript.Shell”)

do

wscript.sleep 100

wshshell.sendkeys “{bs}”

loop

• • Save the file with any name and with .vbs extension and close it.
  • Now open the newly created file and see how the key behaves!

In order to end the vbs script (stop continuous key presses), open task manager and end the wscript.exe process as shown in image below.

Shut-down The Computer After Conveying Any Message

This one is kind of an annoying trick and if used unknowingly can certainly cause problems (am serious). What this trick does is, after conveying a (any) message it shuts down the computer without any confirmation. In order to create the Shutdown file, follow the below mentioned steps:

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in it:

@echo off
msg * Its time to get some rest.
shutdown -c “Error! You have to take rest! Byeeeeee” -s

• Save the file with any name but with .bat extension and close it. For eg. TakeRest.bat

NOTE : Use this carefully. If you are playing prank then keep in mind that this may lead to loss as it shuts down the computer forcefully.

Constantly Repeat Messages

Using this notepad trick you can annoy anyone and can actually force them to log off or leave the computer (LOL….). This notepad trick will create an infinite cycle of a message in the computer. Follow the steps to know more:

• Open Notepad.
• Paste the following code in the notepad file:

@ECHO off
:Begin
msg * Hi
msg * Are you having fun?
msg * I am!
msg * Lets have fun together!
msg * Because you have been o-w-n-e-d
GOTO BEGIN

• Save the file with any file name but with .bat as extension and close it. For eg. Freakymessage.bat

After saving the file just open it (by double clicking) and see what happens.
Pssstttt……. You can piss of your friends by sending it as an email attachment asking them to try it out !

Change The Header/Footer Of Your Notepad File

More often than not whenever you get a printout of your notepad file, it starts with “Untitled” or the filename at top, and “Page ” on bottom. Now if you want to get rid of it or want to change it, just follow the simple steps given below.

• Open Notepad.
• Click on File -> Page Setup.
• Replace the text written in the “Header” and “Footer” box (as shown above) by any of the following codes:

&l Left-align the characters that follow
&c Center the characters that follow
&r Right-align the characters that follow
&d Print the current date
&t Print the current time
&f Print the name of the document
&p Print the page number

Continually pop the CD Drive

• Open Notepad.
• Copy the code given below onto the notepad file:

Set oWMP = CreateObject(“WMPlayer.OCX.7?)
Set colCDROMs = oWMP.cdromCollection
do
if colCDROMs.Count >= 1 then
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
For i = 0 to colCDROMs.Count – 1
colCDROMs.Item(i).Eject
Next
End If
wscript.sleep 5000
loop

• Save it as “Anything.VBS”.

Now open the file and see the magic! The file will continuously force the CD rom to pop out! And If you have more than one then it pops out all of them!

World Trade Center Attack Trick

As you might be knowing that the flight number of the plane that had hit World Trade Center on that dreadful day (9/11) was Q33NY. Now call this trick a coincidence  or something else but whatever it is, it does startle us.

• Open Notepad.
• Type “Q33N” (without quotes) in capital letters.
• Increase the font size to 72.
• Change the Font to Wingdings.

You will be amazed by the findings.

Test your antivirus

Now, you can check if your antivirus really works. Type the following in notepad:
X5O!P%@AP[4\PZX54(P^)7CC)7}$EICAR-STANDARD-ANTIVIRUS-TEST-FILE!$H+H*
Save the file as virus-test.txt
Scan the file. If your antivirus detects this file as a virus and tries to remove it, then you can be sure your antivirus is a good one. This is a much easier way, than actually downloading a virus to test it. This sample virus code is perfectly harmless and allows you to test your antivirus. A good antivirus like MS Security Essentials will detect this test virus even before you scan it.

Create a command prompt Virus message

Type the following in notepad:
@ echo off
title Virus
echo Your system is affected by virus
PAUSE
echo:
echo Windows will now try to undo changes
PAUSE
echo:
echo FAILED !
PAUSE
echo:
echo Your system is corrupt
PAUSE
Save the file as virus.bat and run the file.

Make a fake Virus POP UP

Type the following code in notepad:
@echo off
msg * WARNING
msg * VIRUS ENTERED YOUR PC
Save the file as pop.bat and run it. You should get two pop up messages. There has been an issue on some computers, but it should work on most computers.

Lock Folders using Notepad

This trick may not work on all computers
Lets say you want to lock a folder named PICS in your D:\ drive , whose path is D:\PICS
Then the code should be something like this:
ren pics pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
Pics is your folder name. Use the name of the folder in place for pics. Save the text file as lock.bat in the same drive.
To unlock this locked folder:
Open another new notepad text file and type the following:
ren pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} pics
Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive. Here again, pics is the name of the folder. Change it to the folder you want to lock.

Alternative Single Character Matrix

Type in the following in notepad:
@echo off
color 0a
:A
echo 7 y x 3 W 8 G M P q 1 F 0 U v c i j O D s a E I j H 9 t 6 7 z C B 4 g 8 3 W 8 G
ping localhost -n 1 > nul
goto A
Save the file as Matrix2.bat and run the file.
The file type should be kept as ALL FILES while saving a .bat file.

Make the Matrix

Not much to explain, just follow the steps and see the amazing matrix effect happen in your DOS window:

• Open Notepad.
• Copy the below mentioned text in your notepad file:

@echo off
color 02
:start
echo %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random% %random%
goto start

• Save the file with .bat extension like Matrix.bat

Thats it. Just open the file to see the matrix effect right before your eyes!

Make Questions

Want to make something interactive ? Need to make questions ? Here is an example of a question made with notepad where the user got the answer correct.

To do this, just type the following code in notepad.
@ECHO OFF
ECHO:
ECHO ………………………………………..
ECHO PRESS 1 or 2 to select your task, or 3 to EXIT.
ECHO ………………………………………..
ECHO.
ECHO 1 – This info was given by Fun PC Life
ECHO 2 – This info was not given by Fun PC Life
ECHO 3 – EXIT
ECHO.
SET /P M=Type 1, 2, or 3, then press ENTER:
echo:
IF %M%==1 GOTO Correct
IF %M%==2 GOTO Wrong
IF %M%==3 GOTO EXIT
:Correct
echo You are right !!
GOTO END
:Wrong
echo You are wrong. This info was really given by Fun PC Life
GOTO END
:END
PAUSE
goto EXIT
:EXIT
Now save the file as Question.bat and run the file.
Please note that the file type should be kept as ALL Files while saving it as a .bat file.
You can modify the code for your convenience. Change the bold text and try it out.

Open a file using notepad

Here is a simple trick to open any file or program with notepad.
Open notepad and type the following:

Start path of file

Then save the file as Shortcut.bat
Please note that the file type should be kept as ALL FILES while saving it as a .bat file.
Change path of file with your actual file path. For example if you have a file called run with an extension .exe in the folder TEST in C:\ drive, then your path should be something like this: C:\TEST\run.exe
If you want to open some complicated programs such as Firefox, then use this code:

START /d “path of folder” program.extension

Change path of folder with the actual path of the folder, and put the name of the program with its extension. For example if you have a file called run with an extension of .exe in the folder TEST in C:\ drive, then your code should be something like this: START /d “C:\TEST” run.exe

The 4335 Rule

This trick may not work on all computers
This has been surprising users for quite some time. When you enter a few secret codes, notepad hides them.

• Open notepad and type in BUSH HID THE FACTS
• Close notepad and open it again to see the magic

Can you read it again ? This is called the 4335 Rule. This means, if the first word is four words, the second and third as three words, and the fourth as five words, then you follow the 4335 rule and the text is hidden.
The same happens with this app can break.

Make A Personal Log-Book or A Diary

Did you know that you can also use Notepad as a simple digital diary or a personal Log-Book ? Well, if you didn’t then follow the below mentioned steps to make one for yourself !

• Open Notepad.
• Type .LOG (in capital letters) and hit enter.
• Save it with any name and close it.
• Open it again.

When you open the file again you will see the current date and time being inserted automatically after the .LOG line. This will happen automatically every time you reopen the the notepad file.

7-Zip Archiver (Open source & widely used)

7-Zip (a real alternative of Winzip and Winrar) is open source software which works in Windows 7 / Vista / XP / 2008 / 2003 / 2000 / NT / ME / 98. Use this free soft to compress or decompress your files in all the extentions (eg. .zip, .rar, .tar, .cab etc...).

There is a port of the command line version to Linux/Unix. Compression ratio results are very dependent upon the data in the file. Usually, 7-Zip compresses to 7z format 30-70% better than to zip format. And 7-Zip compresses to zip format 2-10% better than most of other zip compatible programs.


The main features of 7-Zip:

• High compression ratio in 7z format with LZMA and LZMA2 compression
• Supported formats: (Packing / unpacking: 7z, XZ, BZIP2, GZIP, TAR, ZIP and WIM, Unpacking only: ARJ, CAB, CHM, CPIO, CramFS, DEB, DMG, FAT, HFS, ISO, LZH, LZMA, MBR, MSI, NSIS, NTFS, RAR, RPM, SquashFS, UDF, VHD, WIM, XAR and Z.)
• For ZIP and GZIP formats, 7-Zip provides a compression ratio that is 2-10 % better than the ratio provided by PKZip and WinZip
• Strong AES-256 encryption in 7z and ZIP formats
• Self-extracting capability for 7z format
