If you newly created the folder "SpeechFile" then please check the access rights on it. — watraplion, May 17 '13 at 08:29

Generally the user account the application pool runs under will not have permissions to write to any sub-folders for security reasons. You will have to check which user your application runs under and then give that user write permissions to the SpeechFile folder. Make sure that is the only folder that you do give it write permissions to so that the security risk is minimised.

The only way to solve this problem is to not write to that folder. You are not allowed to write to that folder .Just Tried to Give Access Rights to your Folder SpeechFile.

You may also use Environment.SpecialFolder to help you find where you need to go.
