text-to-speech

I did it by creating OLE object with Delphi in 2000/NT/XP as following: Voice := CreateOLEObject('SAPI.SpVoice'); Voice.speak(...) But this does not work in Vista, how can I make my program simply speak some text in Vista? François I just tried (D2009 on Vista Home Premium) with the following code and it works! unit Unit1; interface uses Windows, Messages, SysUtils, Variants, Classes, Graphics, Controls, Forms, Dialogs, StdCtrls, ComObj; type TForm1 = class(TForm) Button1: TButton; procedure Button1Click(Sender: TObject); private { Private declarations } public { Public declarations } end; var

I am trying to implement text to speech technology of Android in my Activity. It is a simple word game and I want the TTS engine to spell a single letter when the user presses some button. For example when the user presses the A button I want to hear "A". The problem is the the .speak method only takes a String as input. So, when I tell the TTS engine that I just want a single letter string, the sound is not the pronunciationof the letter. Is there any way that I can make it pronounce correctly the single letter strings? The solution so far, was to use as string input, words that sound like

I am working with TTS. But i need to change the voice of the tts from female to male and vice versa. I know i can do it by eSpeak. But problem is that. In the setting page when i select the eSpeak TTS the voice changes to male and when i choose the Pico TTS the voice turns to female. But when after changing the engine in the setting page when i try to change the voice and try to use that changed voice in my app it only speaks in male voice. I download the third party app from http://eyes-free.googlecode.com/svn/trunk/tts/ Then in my app's MainActivity i do the below, editText = (EditText)

I have developed my own TTS apps in Android. Is there any way to deploy my TTS engine into the OS instead on running the TTS apps, so that other apps can call my TTS? Something like SAPI in MS Window. SVOX can package the engine as apk and after installed, it adds new engines into the Andorid OS, not sure how can I do that same. For your text-to-speech engine to show up in the list of available services, you'll need to add the appropriate activities and manifest entries. For API 14 and above, you need to extend TextToSpeechService and you need to add the following to your manifest: <service

I was toying with adding speech cues to my app and was testing out AVSpeechUtterance in iOS 7, but the default speech rate is REALLY fast. The minimum speech rate is much more understandable. But the maximum volume value of 1 is soooo quiet! I tested it on my iPhone 4 with the volume turned all the way up. Something must be wrong or else how would this be usuable at all. AVSpeechSynthesizer *synthesizer = [[AVSpeechSynthesizer alloc]init]; NSString *mystring = [NSString stringWithFormat:@"Talk String Here %@",myObject.name]; AVSpeechUtterance *utterance = [AVSpeechUtterance
