I'm currently working on an application that uses SpeechLib and ships with several different SAPI compatible voices. All is fine on Windows 7, but on Windows XP (English) it refuses to speak with any of the voices other than the English one. GetVoices() returns all the voices, and SPVoice lets me set the voice to the other language, but ...
If I feed a speech synthesizer (festival, in this case, but it applies to all) the following bit of text: "At the USPGA championship in the US, the BBC reporter went MIA". it reads "At the uspga championship in the us, the BBC reporter went mia". In other words, I guess that because it's a cluster of consonants, it reads "BBC" properl...
I'm trying to write a js function that can speak certain text, like this" function SpeakText(text) { ...... } I found this tread: http://stackoverflow.com/questions/3341575/how-to-create-a-button-that-plays-a-mp3-google-tts that seems to do what I want. But I tried the solutions but doesn't work. Maybe it requires html5 to work? Is t...
Back in the old days, text-to-speech, as cutting edge as it was, was very imperfect. When you typed in a word, it would pretty much read it how you spelled it... in monotone. Oftentimes, the result would be very funny. Nowadays, Text-to-Speech is too intelligent to goof in ways that can bring a laugh. As a personal project, I'd like ...
I would want to hear the audio, when I click on an image (e.g. an audio image). The sound file for a sentence is obtained via google translate. I would like to do this without getting re-directed to a different page. How should I do this? I tried using the HTML5 audio tag, but didn't succeed either. <html> <body> <a href="http://transla...
I'm trying to get TTS to run in the background. But, I never get any sound. I have a broadcast receiver which starts a service. I put my TTS code in both of those, but it never speaks. I know the method is being called (I put a breakpoint on it), but it still doesn't work. Here's my log, but it doesn't seem to contain anything about the...
I am using System.Speech.Synthesis.SpeechSynthesizer to convert text to speech. And due to Microsoft's anemic documentation (see my link, there's no remarks or code examples) I'm having trouble making heads or tails of the difference between two methods: SetOutputToAudioStream and SetOutputToWaveStream. Here's what I have deduced: Se...
Hi friends, i have a scenario where i have to use the automatic calling functionality using VOIP (Diagrammatically). I need a system or dialler that will automate the process of dialling and get response through the system. We need a tool that could be able to dial by itself (we don’t have any agent interaction) the given number and wi...
I was trying to track down something that could test a string for "Pronounceability" and though I actually doubt there's anything that might be freely available. I was actually a bit surprised to find that Microsoft has a library. http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ms718902(VS.85).aspx This got me thinking, maybe it does exist els...
I am just starting my cocoa education and I had a quick question, I see that the ability to click a word and have the mac text-to-speech functions say that text is built in automatically. (ie - for the hello world app, you can click hello world and in the menu have it say "hello world" back to you) My question is this, is there a way f...
My client would like to know how to create a digital voice. What's the best approach to this, such that the voice could perform text-to-speech? To clarify, I meant to ask what APIs exist for accomplishing this? ...

Most of you probably know the text-to-speech synthesizer of google translate, as you can access programmatically here btw: http://translate.google.com/translate_tts?tl=en&q=text My impression was it's sometimes using espeak, but in the major languages, the quality is much better than that. Anybody knows what Google is using, or wh...
