Anyone know of a good text-to-speech solution for j2me? I know it's not officially supported by any devices or in any JSR, but wondering if there are any free libraries that can do it? What about some kind of integration between j2me and python to allow this to happen? I need to add this to a big j2me application, so re-writing the wh...
As the title says I need to be able to create a WAV or MP3 file using SAPI on Windows XP. I can install basically anything needed if anyone can recommend a third party application which would allow me to do this. In terms of programming languages really only VB6 is available on the target machine (yeah...) so if anyone can recommend a ...
I'm working on a program that includes speech synthesis. A few weeks ago, I wrote the introductory using (SpeechSynthesizer s = new SpeechSynthesizer()) { s.SetOutputToWaveFile("file.wav"); s.Speak(textBox1.Text); } program. It worked just fine. I crossed off "research speech synthesis" from my task lis...
Using the System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer class in .Net 3.5, the AudioPosition property of the SpeakProgressEventArgs appears to be inaccurate.

I use System.Speech in the webmethod. [WebMethod] public void Synth...
I am trying to use SpeechLib on my personal website. It's a very simple app that saves some text to a wav file - standard stuff. Works great on the dev machine. But all hell breaks loose when I deploy it to the shared host. Sometimes I get prompted for user name and password at the time of writing the wav file. Sometimes, I get the "Sec...
I am trying to research available voice recognition engines and SDK for developing a Windows CE voice enabled application. I've run across Nuance, but don't see much of anything else. I would prefer a .Net SDK if possible, but I imagine most would be C/C++. I appreciate any suggestions. Thanks. ...

I'm not blind, I just want to have a way to have my Windows machine read the contents of a buffer outloud. Here are the basic requirements: Read any English text buffer. Pause the reading at any time and resume at any time (not wait a few minutes for a big buffer to finish when someone walks into my office). Adjust the read-back speed...
I am working on improving Festival on Emacs. I need better control of Festival when it reads a sentence. Basically, I need two things: Show what word is being read. Change the speed (and maybe pitch) of what is being read. Ideally, there would be some data structure output by Festival that would link offset/length (usually the star...
