I’m trying to help a visually impaired friend of mine find software that can convert text to speech. A lot of textbooks do not have audio versions and reading is extremely difficult. However, as a student, this person does not have a lot of money. Any help would be appreciated. I would prefer you actually know or use the program and know it works great instead of just posting random google links.

Is it required to know windows programming before one can begin game programming with DirectX?

I’ve seen some code written for Windows-based applications, and it is very different from what I’ve learned in C++ textbooks. I guess windows programming itself is very different from console applications.

Anyway, I want to get up to speed with DirectX, but I am not familiar with windows programming. Do I need to learn windows programming before I can even attempt to work with DirectX?
